Pureflix turned John Wick into a Christian movie and I'm not sure how I feel about it...
Beckman is the Christian John Wick rip-off that leaves you with more questions than answers, the biggest one being, "Why didn't this movie get nominated for any Oscars?"
Pureflix and the Christian movie industry don't exactly have a reputation for making A-tier blockbusters, or for making action movies in general. That's why the movie I review in this video, Beckman, caught my attention. I want to watch David A.R. White tuck and roll as much as the next guy, but I also want to see what sort of biblical spin the creators of this movie can put on the already-beloved John Wick tale. Is this movie good for building God's kingdom, or does it join the ranks of God's Not Dead and all the other Christian movies that fall flat of the Great Commission? We're about to find out.

    I am a Christian that is struggling with faith, so I want to say why Christian metal is my favorite genre. Contemporary Christian artists may bring up dark subject matter in between songs with a 15 to 45 minute sermon, followed by yet another generic 4 chord song with 15 band members and 9 guitarists. Demon Hunter and Impending Doom are bands that I resonate with more because they are more open about the brutality about the human condition and that faith is NOT AN EASY THING. I am a person that HATES aggressive positivity. And the Christian music you hear on Smile FM is the very stuff that is Drowning the average suburban neighborhood into thinking everything is just perfectly fine. I've been bullied all my life for my faith. By "believers" and the ones who aren't. Despite my views not being extreme, everyone treats me like I am, and that's why I resonate with bands like these so much.

    Since you're pretty clearly more into the "core" side of things: In the Midst of Lions, Sleeping Giant, For Today, Haste the Day are all really really good. More towards standard metal genres you have: Pantokrator, Tourniquet, Theocracy, Crimson Moonlight, Believer, and if you like the old cheesy sounding metal you've got the classics Stryper and Petra.

Well sonehow he started feeling like ge wanted delivered and satan foubd out. He said he got cgaibed up and his spirit was in lije the astrial realm or sonething.. He was explaing wat he seen i cant remember everything but he said he seen so called Christians that were musicians and they ended up there cause tgeir music was secular soubding and when the singers changed their voice it wasny actually tgem it was a demon..Ge said these so called christians were continually forced to swallow a 3 bladed sword tgat were actually serpants...He was hinting they were metal musicians... here is the Deal I play 7 and 8 string guitars I write the most Brutal Pro Word of God lyrics, I am bought by the blood of Jesus Christ, I absolutely believe in the Holy Spirit and am baptised in the Holy Spirit.. I mean Jesus Christ for wat he did for me at the Cross is the most important thing to me... Almighty Father God and the Heart of the Father is so amazing.... well anyways i hear dude talking about that stuff I start tripping out a lil..I mean my vocals Are like six feet under warpath Chris Barnes vocals and Becomi the Archtype vocals... (NOTE PLEASE DO NOT GO LISTEN TO ANYTHING WITH CHRIS BARNES PLEASE) IT WAS WHEN I WAS BACK SLIDIN....anyways Go listen to B.T.A. when ever!! (I AM) imo best album....

Sound like a sneeze u cant get out cause some big booger is blocking it!!!.... lol.. Anyways tgat dude vision has got me torn up!! I feel that a new style is inside me!! There is a name I call it but I am keeping that to myself at this time..Tgen I think about wat dude said and I am like wow!! I get little freaked cause my vocals are a combo of 6.F.U./BTA STRAIGHT DEEP AND HEAVY... Am I being wicked and making Jesus upset or God angry? I was at peace with it as part of my calling cause i was in a struggle with it and kedp it short Jesus Christ by the Powdr of the Holy Spirit lead me right to PSALMS 21:8-13!!!! (AWESOME WORD) (ITS THE FOUNDATION SCRIPTURE OF MY MUSIC PROJECT) that scripture had me pumped and at peace for years etc... WAS LIKE YES BEEN AT PEACE ABOUT IT EVER SINCE LIKE THAT WAS 2007 OR 08ISH!!! Then hear tgat story and am like questioning it, so called cgristiam metal musicians will be tormented for eternity etc...
