“Seeing that a number of people in this Christian film either in front of behind thencamera are named Pendleton or Amstedt I get the feeling this was a family project of some kind.u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eOur protagonist is young James Pendleton who has grown up in a single parentnhousehold with a good mom, but who fell under a lot of bad influences andngoes full blown bad when he mugs Ted Pendleton one night.u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eSeveral stages of character development are clearly missing here. But whatnhappens is that the older Pendleton whom he mugs refuses to press chargesnand turns into a mentor sorts.u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eGive me a break, how often will that happen? Iu0026#39;m not sure the most unquestioning church audiences will buy this one.”
