James HarlemanI consider myself blessed to be a pastor at one of the fastest growing churches in the United States. I'm also a rabid film buff - definitely my object of worship before I met Jesus in 1998 and traded up. I have a Bachelor's in Biblical Studies but, like most of us, accrued most of my mad skills through experience, trial and error. I have a lovely wife named Kat, a lovely cat named Edgar, and quite a collection of comics and Transformers. We reside in beautifully wet, gray and overly caffeinated North Seattle.

The film is hampered by the script and direction in a way that makes it vacillate between a harsh, realistic landscape and the buddy westerns of the last century. The screenplay itself feels like an oil-and-water treatment that never mixes.
