In The Reaping, Hilary Swank plays a former Christian missionary who lost her faith after her family was tragically killed, and has since become a world renowned expert in disproving religious phenomena. But when she investigates a small Louisiana town that is suffering from what appear to be the Biblical plagues, she realizes that science cannot explain what is happening and she must regain her faith to combat the dark forces threatening the community.
I really don't know what to think about this movie. I didn't hate it . . . . but I didn't like it too much either. It was just kind of there. I think I didn't like it too much because I kept thinking how it could have been so much better. It was a great premise, but seemed to be very rushed and thrown together without the proper build-up attention that it should have been given. I didn't hate it because it was watchable and because the movie being so rushed was too short to end up hating it. Not sure how much this review helps at all.
All of that being said - I really don't know whether to recommend this movie or not. You might just be better off saving the money/time and waiting to rent this bad boy.
