Synopsis

In the City of Angels, despair and heartache are the daily mail -- delivered with painful regularity whether we want them or not. Through I AM, we join an eclectic cast as they try to untangle themselves from the web of sin. All along the way, they are each joined by a mysterious companion -- ever present with a loving guidance without judgment for their actions. The more they attempt to fix their lives, the deeper they sink into chaos, pain, and loss. In addition, we discover that sin is a matrix connecting even the most remote of strangers to one another. It is at this breaking point when we see the presence of this companion was no accident. He was the ever-loving constant who refused to abandon His people -- even when they abandoned Him.

amandafassler I am not against God, but this was really just advertising Christianity. the acting was not good, and the Morgan Freeman rip-off... seriously? The beginning set-up the movie like it was going to be a great one, but then the plot disappeared and the point of the movie became to teach you the 10 commandments. After the girl was frozen the story became way too scattered, and WAY too many characters come in. 3 stars at best. Of there was a better cast and maybe some proofreading of the script, the movie could've been potentially OKAY maybe 5 stars. You could tell the movie was sponsored by some kind of church group. Don't waste your time on this movie. It was honestly a waste of 2 hours. I support God, but I don't support this movie.
J As some one who does not go to or belong to a church I was mostly watching this movie as a movie and not for some kind of message confirmation. That said the movie is OK. There are no special effects, CG, nudity, graphic violence, satanic rituals, gore or glorification of illegal drugs. So anyone wanting a regular studio movie is bound to be disappointed.That said the acting, camera work, soundtrack and script are a step above a made for TV or two steps above a S2V production, surprisingly good really. I admit my expectations were exceedingly low so any show of promise was rewarding. Was the acting high quality? No. Was it good quality? Yes. Better than most movies coming out these days really. The same could go for most of the rest. The soundtrack while I think nearly all Christian Rock (not really familiar) was actually very good and the producers should be commended for that.As some have noted the movie is packed full of clichés. Not quite American Pie III clichés but the movie is based on the Ten Commandments and they have been around for a while so this should not come as a surprise to anyone. The Morgan Freeman cliché character was over the top disappointing in that he was such a direct theft that were movie a hit I would wonder about infringements.I did find it disappointing that many people would likely find the characters not genuine. I tend to agree to a point. Not because such people do not exist but because they are so rare. It is difficult to find people anywhere who decide to turn their lives around in a meaningful way and take large apparently sincere steps to go about it. Having so many in one film is badly overdone. The movie would likely have been much more believable had some of the characters had more likely outcomes in their story lines.All in all middle of the road movie with a few good points.
Cali Ward I AM is a movie that follows the Ten Commandments, one by one, in a non-linear storytelling like the movie "Crash" or something from Tarantino. Its cutting edge, cool, and plays before you like a puzzle keeping you from getting bored with the Commandments as they are subtly revealed through the plot.If you're like me, you're tired of the sub-par standards in "Christian Film". In many ways, filmmakers have used the term as an excuse for a cheesy movie with a lame story, lack of artistry, and non-professional acting. I AM literally blows its predecessors away with a cool visual style (the opening scene is underwater!), a non-linear story, and a pure creativity.I recommend it to anyone!
seclife321 This movie has so many flaws. The characters are not developed and seem to be just a bunch of clichés. Every character's background can be summed up in one short sentence, like "woman who will do whatever it takes." Moreover, their actions are random and completely inconsistent at times. A guy says he only cares about himself one moment and then helps out a detective for no reason the next.The premise of the movie is also ridiculous. Throughout the movie, God interacts with the characters and resolves their problems. But if God was speaking to all of us, I doubt there would any of the problems faced by current society or the people in this movie (e.g., wars, crime, etc.). So, the movie tries to blend reality with fantasy in a blatantly impossible way and hopes no one will notice.However, the main flaw is that this movie is told rather than shown. It consists mainly of scenes where people talk about what they did rather than showing what they did. Although this approach works great in a written story, it is unbearably boring to watch. It's like the cast sat down and talked about what they would act out instead of really acting it out.Overall, this feels like an attempt to turn a sermon into a movie. I would not recommend this movie to anyone.
