I Have awarded five stars, which to be honest is more than generous, and is mainly for the really original premiss. After reading the synopsis I was so excited to watch this. Unfortunately it was badly let down by some below average acting, very hammy dialogue and more plot holes than a gopher ridden garden. To be fair, this was clearly not a highly budgeted effort, and did well with what it had, but could have, and should have been so much better. But the idea of seeing what you can't see when you blink, and that is something awful, is intriguing. Casting played a big part in the failure of this, many of the actors did not fit their roles. The lead female was just way too young, and did not have the gravitas for the part. Would love to see a budgeted remake.

Let me preface my review by saying I am a sucker for anything involving fallen angels, demons, hell, etc. Etc. So I was quite excited to see this movie given its storyline. Heaven starts recruiting people to fight a war against Arch Angel Michael who is trying to raise an army of demons to invade earth. Where to begin with this. The story is crazy, with more holes than a sieve. The acting is mostly awful, but not helped by the cringeworthy script and dialogue. Most of the plot is fairly predictable and transparent. But I can't overstate how bad the dialogue is, and despite the subject matter, it is so sickly sweet it could have been made by hallmark cards. Imagine Orphans, selfless sacrifices, heroic speeches. This really is a very poor movie and probably deserves one or two stars. But as I said, I'm a sucker for all things angels and demons and despite cringing at some scenes, I did enjoy it, but not for eveyone.
