I didn't think the movie was that bad. It's not on my purchase list but i think I must have liked it better than you all from what you wrote. "C" is about right. Other than the book turning out to be a bible I don't remember any "preachy" stuff in the movie. One little flaw I find humorous, if any one knows anything about braille the entire bible would have been enough volumes to fill a van I am a pretty big Denzel fan so having him in the movie probably helped. I didn't quite buy his role in Man On Fire though.
