ws_tgs I am gobsmacked that someone is so twisted thought that this was a good message to people, there is no way that they understand how health clinics work and that its already difficult enough for them to make a choice without feeling ostracized or scared for their life. Jesse is incredibly unstable and lies, judges and causes nothing but pain for others. What better way for a movie about pro choice and how a woman feels than to have it directed, produced and starring mainly men, and I guess the term Voiceless refers to having the women have little to no lines. I hate that I saw this movie, I hate that it exists and I hate the people behind it, never do this again!

Vlad_Imirivan Dismiss the trolls, at least they were "kind" enough to contribute '1' point out of 10. Though,.. tread carefully. An overheated tone and characters' questionable tactics in the struggle against abortion undercut the obviously good intentions behind the pro-life drama.While it's clearly meant to serve as a cinematic rallying cry for the protection of the innocent, the film instead runs the risk of reinforcing the stereotype of irate, crusading picketers collaring women in vulnerable situations.Writer-director Pat Necerato's protagonist is Jesse Dean (Rusty Joiner), a former Special Forces soldier, "self-taught in theology," who runs an inner-city Philadelphia church's outreach center where he teaches boxing. A new arrival in what the movie portrays as a dysfunctional City of Brotherly Love, Jesse is understandably dismayed to find an abortion mill operating across the street.Previously uninvolved in the political controversy, but with a personal stake in the issue shared by his wife, Julia, Jesse works to get his fellow parishioners mobilized to shutter the place.The pastor, Gil. is opposed to this type of activism. But Jesse is spurred on by his Scottish-born neighbour, Elsie. Elsie's husband helped found the church but she has ceased to worship there because of the proximity of evil across the way.Angry exchanges ensue. After he learns that a woman who had an abortion at the facility has committed suicide, for instance, Jesse rushes into the building, which has unrealistically ineffective security, heatedly confronting the receptionist at the front desk.Matters escalate with an incident in which an abortion advocate turns up with a pistol, threatens everyone. Despite the heightened stakes, Jesse perseveres in his efforts, assuring Julia, "This is what God would want."Viewers committed to the sanctity of human life will sympathize with Jesse's frustration and outrage. Yet, just as the movie centering on him seems unlikely to change the minds of the misguided about this sorrowful topic, so too his approach to the moral horror of legal killing, while admirable for its fervor and persistence, lacks reflection and prayerfulness.

floraposteschild Maybe I'm very old-fashioned, but shouldn't semi-amateur filmmakers, the kind who get friends and family to post reviews on IMDb (judging from the number of reviewers here who have one credit to their names -- this film) be a little humble? But this is the honest-to-God working/alternate title: American Hero: The Movie. I mean! And this is the tag line: One man. One Fight. The Ultimate Sacrifice. Well, there are many more than one man in this film -- it seems to be a completely male lead and made project, and almost all female characters are victims or deluded fools, with few or no lines, even about their own abortions. The one fight is clear -- against abortion, and not, I repeat, not a fight to pay for and care for children. You could say the protagonist takes it a little far: spying on the clinic behind Venetian blinds, harassing people going in and out, even pushing one girl over the edge into suicide. But I just don't see who or what the sacrifice is, let alone the Ultimate Sacrifice. Is it the abusive husband, lying in the pool of his own blood (symbolism!)? Is it the protagonist's wife, who thanks God in church for a man who opened her eyes? Or is it the viewer, sacrificing brain cells he will never get back?

Seasons of Opportunities Voiceless - a powerful movie about a very touchy subject - abortion/pro- life stance. In the movie a discharged war veteran takes on a small inner city project. He works at building a church by using a boxing ring and other ministries to reach people in the community and draw them in. Across the street from the church is a family planning office. The flip side is that they also perform abortions. He wrestles with this and how God would want him to handle it as he daily sees women going in and out of that building. This movie is likely to stir up some controversy. Personally, I feel like the issue is well addressed. As Christians we should not sit back idle, but what we do should be based on what God calls each of us to do individually. Most importantly, we should be supportive of each other and encourage each other, not try to talk someone out of what God has called them to do. The movie does contain some violence, fitting to the location and happenings of the story line. Several are mocked for their witness or the stand they take. The lead character has some aggressive tendencies but usually expressed in defensive mode not outright uncontrollable rage. There is a bit of tension between him and his wife, that I feel like the movie addressed in a positive manner.All in all, I would say this movie should encourage Christians not only to take a strong stand for what they believe in, but do it in a way that would honor God. It also inspires us to be the person who makes a change, who not only talks the talk but walks the walk, the person who steps up to the plate to give assistance to those who need a way out, not just offer it with our voices. It is easy to say we are pro-life and criticize, but what are we doing to bring a reform? How many people are we willing to help? This movie is a powerful motivator and although I am sure will be viewed with much dispute, it is worth watching!I was blessed with an opportunity to watch this movie a bit before its release in exchange for my honest opinion. I was not required to review it positively.
