Wow my 2020 to 2021 has been made better after watching this I can't count how many times I have watched this such good actors!!!! I recommend you watch. My parents absolutely where hooked my mom couldn't even read her book she was busy watching this hahah. I love the plot it was great and in my opinion very well put together. I'm hooked on this movie and can't stop watching!!!! I don't understand why someone wouldn't like. Other then the fact that they think you need a couple million dollars to put a movie together.

The truth is, we really hate some of the things we struggle with. Christians are often passionate, hypocritical people who say one thing and do another. Then suddenly we go, "Wait, I just need to trust the Lord." This movie was quite a ride. Was expecting the movie to be assassinated in the reviews. Not disappointed. Keep it up, Mr. David A. R. White. All these non-fans that just can't seem to stop watching your movies.

The Bible has so many stories of violence throughout the Old and New Testament it's rarely ever acknowledged. This movie shows realism on how hard it is to over come hate and vengeance. It takes courage to truly have faith in God through tough times.

I LOVE THE MOVIE; In Every Chapter Of The Scenes New Lessons Are Learnt, Opening Doors To New Characters. I Loved Backman (David White)'s For His In The Film Action. The Use Of Flashback/Reminisence Also Helped Alot In Keeping The Viewers Attentively Fixed. ^The Theme's Portrayal Of Faith, Fighting For The Right Causes, Vengance, Letting Somethings Go, And The Lessons Of Forgiveness, Freedom, Also Brings To Life The Message It's Giving Us. The Commendable Mild Use Of Thrills, Makes It Pure Flix! For Action Movies. The Actor And Actresses (main & Minor) Brought Out Action The Life Of The Movie Needs. The Movie Is Very Relatable, Both In Other Aspect Of Fighting Battles In A Different Way Too! Dont Give Up! Please Dont Stop The Act.

Horrible, just plain horrible, 'nuff said. As other reviewers have already stated, doesn't even rate being called a "B" movie, heck quite honestly it doesn't even rate direct to video!

Interesting movie - this certainly isn't for small children as there is plenty of violence. But for us "seasoned' adults - I liked the movie! I found this action movie entertaining and keep in mind Christianity deals with forgiveness, redemption, and second chances. There's plenty of those things !!!!

Well, I was a bit surprised by it!!!! The message the makers of the movie are trying to convey is very clear, which is very good. At times, it was a bit scary and dark, but is worthwile watching!!! And to fit so much action in an hour and a half movie is quite impresssive!!

For those who like suspense and action movies, check this out for sure! There's plenty of movies like this that are just empty shoot em up, chase the bad guys, blah, blah, blah junk. This movie has the drama, action and suspense along with a good spiritual message. A must see for all!

BECKMAN is weird. It's weird in concept, and it's weird in execution. Not because of the filmmaking or anything, but because of precisely how...normal it all is. Unless you knew David A.R. White on-sight or were a Pure Flix obsessive (I'm sure they exist), nothing about this film would indicate that it's from the same people that brought you such classics as GOD'S NOT DEAD and GOD'S NOT DEAD 2: THE QUICKENING. By all measurable standards it just seems like another one of those DTV action flicks that, in this particular instance, apes JOHN WICK. Frankly I think that's kind of an achievement in and of itself, a Pure Flix movie that just seems like...a movie. The story, of an hitman-turned-preacher (David A.R. White) struggling to escape his violent past after his adopted daughter is abducted by a monologue-loving cult leader (William Baldwin) and his mercenary army of assassins and human traffickers, isn't terribly original (obvious nods to TAKEN, JOHN WICK, and MAN ON FIRE abound), but those are fairly solid potboiler plots and they're effectively recreated here. The inescapable hand of evangelical Christianity that normally pervades Pure Flix's output is kept to minimum here, and the film's much better for it. Sure you could argue that its message of forgiveness and nonviolence is at odds with the unending stream of violence and mayhem, but then again this isn't a movie that you should think about too hard. The religious themes aren't any more pervasive than, say, MEAN STREETS; which might be Pure Flix's attempts at securing a more mainstream audience, but also could be a sign that they've learned the art of subtlety (I hope it's the latter). Action, performances, cinematography, score, editing, directing. All of these things aren't really that much more than average, but I think when the bar's set so low that has to count for something. My brain still refuses to 100% accept David A.R. White as a gritty action hero but he does give a solid, if somewhat one-note, performance and is fairly believable in his plethora of set-pieces. William "No Not That" Baldwin, Jeff Fahey, and Burt Young (whom I'd hitherto thought had passed away years ago) are all tasked with little more than making glorified cameos, but they're all consummate professionals and Baldwin is at least an effective baddie. The rest of the supporting cast are likewise uniformly solid. There's a pseudo-DIY quality to the low-budget filmmaking that's rather endearing. Clearly these people didn't have the same money or resources that Chad Stahelski and Co. have, but dammit if they don't try. The fights are well choreographed and staged (and surprisingly bloody in places), and director Gabriel Sabloff has a strong sense of style that helps elevate the otherwise unremarkable material in many places. It helps that Sabloff is no stranger to these things, a veteran of both low-budget action movies and Pure Flix dramas, he clearly knows how to stretch a low budget. His love of DSLRs and gimbals might take a little getting used to, but it never detracted from the viewing experience and actually gave the film a bit of a (possibly unintended) personal touch. Will Musser's score, with its clear overtures toward Vangelis and Jóhann Jóhannsson, is an effective mood setter and helps set the film out from the rest of the DTV crowd.

First off only ignoramuses would think that this is Christian film, that's just asinine. This was an action movie center around a man seeking redemption, vengeance and a struggle with being someone of faith without hypocrisy or contradiction. So all you self righteous zealots go sell all your goods and give to the poor. Back to the movie, a bit too long get to the point but this was a Taken, John Wick and a Boondock Saints surrogate. Good time killer. 3 stars for the effort. BTW, William Baldwin sucks major ass as an actor.
