Review of The Encounter (2010) by Don S — 03 Dec 2017

Extremely heavy-handed Christian movie wherein five strangers are waylaid by an extreme storm that closes the only road out of the podunk territory they are travelling so their only option is a diner a few miles back up the road that not all of them saw as they passed by.

Once there, they meet the owner, Jesus, who offers them nothing but water and a free meal of their choosing. Many have a difficult time believing this is the son of God, but one by one he proves it to them.

I liked the movie, but I'm a Christian. I do not see how this in your face religious story will convert any non-believers. Too much hammer, not enough gentle persuasion.
