I don't have a problem with Christian movies. Some of them are very good quality, some are not. Unfortunately, this one is not.The premise of the movie is pretty good, the acting isn't the worst I've seen, but the voice dubbing makes it difficult to stick with.Also, they must not have had a military consultant because there are so many things wrong with the uniforms, dialog, procedures, etc., of the military part of the film (which is minimal compared to the African part). This alone will keep anyone with a military background from watching it clear through (which seems to be the attempted draw). The most obvious is the title, "Soldier of Destiny." It's not about a Soldier, but a Marine.Unfortunately, I don't think many people will be able to get past the deficiencies of the movie to hear the message.

This may be one of the worst films I've ever suffered through, second only to August Osage County. When the reviews are suspiciously uncritical and uber-adulatory that should send up red flags (check the amazon comments for this particular crime against celluloid – unintentionally hilarious in their fawning praise). The acting – if in fact it can be called that – even transcends "appalling", most nauseatingly from the Resident Hippy ("actor" Jonathan Pienaar), who effects this glacially-paced quasi-southern drawl throughout his entire screen time which unfortunately was most of the movie. The atrocious dialog was near-inaudible due to the relentless deafening attempt at incidental 'music', etc. I've nothing against Christian-themed 'message' movies (note to HollyWeird and rabid liberals: they have every right to a platform as well vs. being invariably cast as inbred, intolerant Neanderthals) but tend to avoid them and wish I had this one. I want my 90 minutes back. -100/10

Say what u want to say but us true Christians will not be brought down because of what you say just like what Matthew chapter 5 verses 5-12 11 says god blesses those when people mock you and persecute you and lie about you and say evil things against you because you are my followers. 12 be happy about it! For a great reward awaits for you in heaven. And remember the ancient prophets were persecuted in the "same way" that's what stops me from being put down when someone comes along and says bad things about my god or me because I believe in my heavenly father, my savior,. My lord which brings me joy, love,peace and all the rest god promises he will bring into our hearts if we choose to believe in him and follow him. And we are not all dammed to hell for Jesus died on the cross for ours sins and rose from the grave so we could be forgiven for our sins. WInhich means he had defeated death and we will no longer have to worry about going through death twice. We will have only one death which is in this world and then we will be with our holy father in heaven. He did because he knows we can never be perfect.

I picked up this movie by chance and it seems there are no reviews anywhere about it so I gave it a go. What a mistake that was. One of the worst movies I've seen in a long while, it follows 2 marines, one which happens to be strangely overweight until they encounter a accident. After which it briefly follows the life of other said marine.To sum it up quickly, this film is straight up boring. The acting is terrible and the dialogue is incredibly poor and couldn't be further from unrealistic or cheesy.Avoid it if you want to save some time, I can't believe I've just sat through the whole of that.
