CGiii Comment
Kevin Smith does Waco...with Westboro thrown in for good measure.
There are guns and killings galore - and a whole lot of preaching...
What does it amount to? Nothing.
By the end, you will feel cheated...simply because it is contrived nonsense...
Smith probably thought it was a funny way to end the proceedings...well, no-one is laughing.

The(ir) Blurb...
The teenager Jarod invites his best friends Travis and Billy-Ray to have a foursome with a thirty-eight year-old woman. While driving to meet the woman, Travis hit a car parked on the road. When they meet the woman, she gives spiked beer to them and they pass out. When the three friends wake up, they find that they are trapped in the fundamentalist Five Points Trinity Church of the infamous Pastor Abin Cooper and that they will be killed. Meanwhile the church is under siege by ATF agents led by Agent Joseph Keenan that have been ordered to destroy the terrorist cell. Will the teenagers be saved by the agents of the law enforcement agency?
