Adrenaline (Simpkins, 2015)

Last updated on: September 8, 2015 at 7:35 pm By Kenneth R. Morefield

Adrenaline (★★½) was pretty much the sort of movie I was thinking of last year when I wrote the mini-essay, “Are Christian Films Judged By a Double Standard?” If you are not already predisposed to like Christian movies, nothing here will change your mind. That said, every class of films, even in genres you don’t like, have better or worse examples.
