An inspirational true story. On what seemed like any other day, Elders Travis Tuttle (Corbin Allred) and Andrew Propst (Maclain Nelson) are approached by Nikolai (Nikita Bogolyubov) to teach a friend. But then the missionaries experience the unimaginable - they are kidnapped, beaten, and held for ransom. While their families, friends, and the world pray for their safe release, Tuttle and Propst are tested physically, emotionally, and most of all spiritually.

Fun premise, good actors, bad writing. This film seemed to have potential at the beginning but it quickly devolves into a trite action film. Ultimately it's very boring.

Through painfully honest and emotional moments, the movie becomes irresistibly relatable

I had watched interviews with the boys this even happened to, so much of the plot was familiar going in.There are preaching moments, they are mormon missionaries after all, but none of it is ever jammed into the story. It all flows very naturally. Overall a solid film. The camera works was intreasting, 3 outta the 4 main actors did fantasic. The music felt a little repeatitive, but that was my biggest issue with this movie.All of the preaching furthered the story, so it gets a pass. The 8/10 rating is well deserved as I watched this movie twice in a row and enjoyed it both times.

From one humble Christian's perspective...Language level: 1 out of 5 Nothing objectionable.Sexual level: 0 out of 5 Absolutely none.Violence level: 2.5 out of 5 Some fighting, being held at gunpoint, etc. May not be suitable for children under the age of 13.Personal Thoughts: An excellent inspirational film, with a message of Christian hope.

This is an independent film without all the Hollywood back up but they do a wonderful job with it. You are captured into the story from the very beginning. It's an amazing story and as a mom I couldn't imagine what I would do having my son go through what they did. The actors seem to portray the real characters so well. It's moving in how people came together for these two young men in not only the church they belong to but also by everyone religious or not. I laughed and cried and cheered in this movie. I have seen Corbin Allred in other movies like Saint and Soldiers and he does a great job, as well as all the other characters. You will not be disappointed going to this movie.

I never write reviews for movies but this movie I couldn't resist. This movie had me shaking the whole time because I didn't know what to expect. Its based on a true story. When this incident happen I was a little young to understand what was going on or even heard about it. So I had no idea what to expect. It was intense but not too intense that you are feeling bad after. Its truly inspiring. A movie for everyone no matter religion you are. When it comes out on DVD I'm gonna get it for sure. I loved it. And I know anyone that watches will too. I would watch it again in theaters. Hope this movie gets more recognition because it truly deserves it.
