It was never made clear to me, but is this the future before or after the rapture? Churches are clearly gone from this society and the New World Order cops are rounding up suspected Christians and getting them and their influence eliminated. Racism seems to have gone because the commander is black. There's a nice university people are now going in and around what used to be Chicago. And the university is now offering chip implants which among other things will protect the implanted from identity theft. The better to keep track of citizens though. It's clearly the mark of the beast.Rumors Of Wars is another paranoid glimpse by the religious right of its future of persecution under one world government which has as its laudable goal among others, the elimination of religious bigotry which has caused most of the wars the planet has seen. Watching this I was wondering whether a similar cadre of troops were busy rounding up Sunni Moslems in Mecca under the same one world government.Leads here are Ben Davies one of the New World Order storm troopers who's having second thoughts about his mission rounding up dissidents and Jennifer Cooper who is a student who refuses to have the chip implant. Eric Roberts has a nice role where he hams it up as a Donald Trump like billionaire who is clearly going to turn out to be the Anti- Christ. Because clearly this is going to have sequels.If you see conspiracies everywhere and love the religious right this is the movie for you.

Saw this on NetFlix and the description was a little interesting. After the first few minutes it seemed like there was a bit of a heavy hand trying pretty darn hard to tell me how I should feel. I kept thinking, "you don't suppose this is some POS 700 club BS masquerading as a movie do you?". Yet I continued to watch. The RFID chips raised suspicions further, then the soldier who defected to "god" and was shot over it. Just miserable. I don't care if these people feel the need to make hackneyed movies to try to trick their flocks into believing their dogma. Perhaps it is for the teens to make them think they get to see real movies, but Special movies, movies with a message. That is all fine and dandy, just don't try to trick others into watching this schlock. To the makers of this movie, I found myself agreeing with the "bad guys" before I shut it off in disgust. A movie like this really needs to be labeled clearly with a warning sticker that this is intended for the ignorant. If you want to show this to a group, it would make a great double feature with 'Birth of a Nation'. It wasn't even one of those bad movies that is so bad it is good or funny, it was just patently bad with no redeeming qualities. Like someone wandered into a couple of post apocalyptic movies and decided they could write a story and if they tilted it enough, they could possibly dupe a church to pay for it. Ed Wood did it better. Avoid this movie like it was one of the seven plagues of Egypt.

If you are a follower of biblical prophecy you will appreciate this film. Quality of the film and acting are not important as the message laid out is of eternal consequence. It lays out a possible transitory period before the final world war and the installment of a world government. There is nothing new under the sun. Unfortunately we as humans do not learn from our mistakes. Hollywood, that is run by sodomites and pedophiles, will not bring you this information. Those in power that literally worship a group of inter-dimensional beings that they channel regularly are ready to make this movie a reality. Be prepared. Get right with Jesus.

Listen, I really hate to be that kind of person to give 'the lone star', but this film is really, really rough. Aside from the wardrobe and make up departments, the rest fell on their faces. The story felt disjointed, the special effects were poor, and the acting...well...Attention Christian film makers. I know you all feel that the message of the story is the most important thing. Well, you are wrong. Sure you need a solid message, but how you communicate that message is more, or at least equal to, the importance of the message itself. If you all insist on using Ben Davies, at least persuade him to invest in some acting lessons. He is so robotic, so unconvincing it seems like he either just got the script the day of filming or has zero life experiences to draw on. One other thing: Stop casting Eric Roberts, period. Look him up on IMDb, as of right now he has 75+ films in progress. He is seriously taking every script that comes across his desk. He has faded into irrelevance because of his poor judgment. He is not a name that will boost your film sales, so just stop...please.On the upside, the supporting cast were all pretty good. But their performances were over shadowed by too many issues.
