A bit dull, horrible dialog with a good ending

Not as good as I was expecting. It is one of those movie that while you are watching it you wonder, "Did this really come out of Hollywood." The dialog was bad and in many cases the delivery was even worse. The special effects would have been decent for a Made-for-TV film, but below par from a movie that hit the theatres in 2007.
Thomas Jane was decent although I couldn't stop thinking he was the "Punisher" throughout the movie. Marcia Gay Harden played a righteous messenger from god and though it was annoying to listen to her in the movie, she had perhaps the best performance of any of the main characters.
I feel that some of the acting may not be as bad as I am making it out to be, but the dialog and the forced character development took so much away from the actors. If there is one bright side to this movie it was the ending. It was a good twist but probably a bit unrealistic. Either way it helped bring this movie back to my liking a bit, but the film was really starting to wear on me by the time the ending happened.
If it is on the Sci-Fi channel then stop and take a look, but I am even hesitant to recommend renting this one. I am a huge fan of this type of genre but it failed to entertain me for long.
