The film follows a German guy and his sister who have been hiding out in a bunker after the current overhaul of the world has made them unsafe as Christians. They decide one day to stop hiding and start trying to spread the word by just spray painting fish everywhere. A former US marine finds them and joins their club. The crew is rounded out by "Holly and I'm here to help" a gothy hacker girl who is initially only on their side because she's all about freedom of choice but then gets converted and they gift her with a goth cross necklace. Meanwhile the German guy starts up a romance with a girl on the inside and there are a bunch of scenes of militarized cops talking about how they have to bring these people down. Really, there's just a lot of musical montages and not a lot in the way of forward moving plot. The whole thing has a frame narrative that makes it seem like the story is being told by the German guy to a cop who arrested him. The film ends with a women who is doubting her position in the government being told to kill him in the woods and the screen going to credits. I think we are supposed to assume she saved him.
This film definitely has some moments. The acting is really bad and while I think it would be easy tor blame that on the fact that a lot of the actors are German and speaking English, they aren't great in the German parts either. This movie was made by like twenty people all doing double duty and probably all from the same church. The premise itself is ridiculous and that leads to a lot of over-the-top moments but the film does drag quite a bit with its minimal plot.
Spoon Rating: 3.5
