If you asked me to build a brick wall but my main hand has to be cuffed to a post and I'd have to stretch my other hand to barely reach the wall... I would tell you you're crazy and not build anything. And yet that's what The Message is. I have absolutely no doubt in my mind but this movie is made with the utmost respect for the source material and the religion as a whole. I have no doubt that it is as accurate as it could possible be. But when you show me a three hour movie that's all about hearsay about what Mohammed just said and did and expect me to like it... I'm sorry but this just doesn't work for me (brother). Maybe the story can work in a different format but it doesn't work like this.
