Just saw “The Identical”

A faith based film with a great sense of cinematography, enjoyable music, but runs on a little too long.

If nothing else Christian themed movies are slowly learning how to be entertaining. Its just a shame that this movie used the difficult-to-amuse-genre of the dramatic biography; and having it based on a fictional Elvis-like character doesn't change the fact that you are not going to get a movie arc. It was very refreshing to see Christian characters committed to serving the Lord and each other which provides the interesting set up for the story of identical twins separated at birth. It was also very refreshing to watch a movie that knows how to use a camera properly. However it just feels like the movie was a collection of the mostly interesting events where the faith was made more faint as time progressed.

I’m not saying I wasn't amused but the movie had no real peak or trough to be truly memorable. Nice try though.
