It wasn't easy, but I was curious, so carried on watching it. My advise, if you manage to watch the first 35 minutes, the dynamics change and the pace becomes faster. Seems as if something changed in the whole movie. Theoretically it's the same director...
Otherwise the end of the movie is a bit surprising. The plot could have been developed to an exciting thriller with more artistic approache to the faith that governed the story, so that opportunity was missed. I guess being a low budget movie you cannot expect better cinematography neither. The six stars are for the movie after 35min. Before that I'd give maybe 3 stars.
