I do not understand why this has been recommended as a Christian movie.
The opening scene includes a scene where paramedics cut open the shirt and expose the bra of a young women.
Then there is a scene where evolution is promoted, while the professor mentions inteligent design as an afterthought as an 'and if you believe in that' option.
Then soon after the main protagonist is found to participate in fortune telling.
The main protagonist wears inappropiate clothing in nearly every scene.
Then there is the first scene of extramarital sex, followed soon after by an even more intimate scene.
That was 30 minutes in.
Those scenes alone have the strong potential to lead someone away from Him.
Later the movie endorses Nietzsche (well known to have hated God by declaring: "God is Dead"):
"Nietzsche is arguing that we have peeled God off and put ourselves in his place. Now the magnet in the story is ridiculed by the people in the marketplace for making his search for God known, they laugh at him and make sarcastic excuses."
The warfare displayed is also not a spiritul warfare which could come from the Bible. It is just a copy of the paranormal stuff we find in secular movies, with a touch of God in it and with a happy end.
The whole story might include some good elements, but it is the last I would recommend to anyone I want to bring to God. This movie rather brings people away from Him and builds a very bad foundation for someone who becomes a Christian.
