Persecuted Reviews
Common Sense Media
Jeffrey M. Anderson
The movie's entire concept is fatally flawed.
Salt Lake Tribune
Sean P. Means
Lusko's leaden dialogue and heavy-handed symbolism is as unintentionally comical as the miscasting of Fox News host Gretchen Carlson as a journalist.
New York Post
Kyle Smith
The Lord works in mysterious ways but "Persecuted" works in blundering, obvious ways, straining a Christianity-under-attack theme through a dopey thriller.
Austin Chronicle
Louis Black
Persecuted matches its conservative beliefs to an anachronistic narrative structure and dated cinematic execution.
RogerEbert.com
Christy Lemire
A heavy-handed and didactic drama which also manages to be totally mushy in terms of the message it's trying to convey.
Quad City Times (Davenport, IA)
Linda Cook
Woe to the filmmakers of 'Persecuted.'
Epoch Times
Mark Jackson
Shouldn't a film about religious tolerance be showing us a man living by example? Instead, we get an image of a bloody, gun-holding hand wrapped in rosary beads. Nice!
The Dissolve
Mike D'Angelo
If Persecuted wasn't such a dire thriller, its sweaty fear of pluralism might at least be amusing.
Slant Magazine
Tomas Hachard
There's no attempt to convince us that the world is being corrupted by people who haven't accepted the Gospel; it merely assumes we agree with that idea.
Tribune News Service
Roger Moore
Miscast, miscalculated. And who is persecuting whom, here?
Milwaukee Journal Sentinel
Chris Foran
The hero's allies pop up and disappear; killers are on his heels, then they aren't. And that whole business about the Christian evangelical leader whose father is a Catholic priest? Yeah, that doesn't get explained either.
Hollywood Reporter
Frank Scheck
Persecuted squanders the talents of its impressive cast -- including James Remar, Bruce Davison, Fred Dalton Thompson and Dean Stockwell -- with its bizarre premise and inept execution.
New York Times
Neil Genzlinger
Just why one particular TV preacher is so all-fired important isn't clear, and neither is anything else about this overwrought mess.
Variety
Justin Chang
Straw-man cinema doesn't get much more ludicrous than this heavy-handed, Christian-themed minister-on-the-run thriller.
