Pray for Rain

This is a perfect example of how low the standard of movie making have become and how high the insults to movie viewers have risen. This is not only a boring and predictable plot, but the acting is too. Then there's the writing skill or lack of it. No need for cgi or green screens. All you need to see are empty brown fields that show the bias present in this OC movie.

Skip this one star waste using a past has-been actress or future wannabees. Go watch a real movie even if you have to rent it. I suggest it be the opposite and be rich in content and quality. A good example would be Ben Hur with Charleston Heston, Logan's Run, or In Harm's Way with John Wayne.

Set in Central Valley, California, this film often plays like a Made- for-TV or B-movie. Annabelle Stephenson stars here, as Emma, a NYC writer for a fashion magazine, who is returning to her hometown of Bella Canejo, Ca., for her father's funeral.

Soon however, she'll be switching hats from fashion reporter to investigative sleuth, as she tries to get to the bottom of a large conspiracy involving the cutting off of desperately needed water to the local farmers by those who want to force them out and buy their land for pennies on the dollar.

Some of the decisions by the intrepid Emma had me shaking my head in disbelief as they became more and more ridiculous as the movie progressed. There was enough here though to keep me interested and want to know how it would all turn out, and it does have some twists near the end and a poignant finale.

Reading the review of critic Roger Moore, on Rotten Tomatoes outlining where the production of this film was coming from raised a lot of red flags for me, so buyer beware.

This movie remined me very much of the Pelican Brief and I found it compelling and entertaining. I was cheering for the heroine the entire time hoping and praying she would discover the truth and that others would believe her and that the evil forces would be overcome. Some actions she took were very gutsy and I wouldn't do them, but the results led to the positive outcomes. Even though there was some violence that could have gotten much worse, I am glad it didn't -- extra points for being family friendly!

This movie touched me and this is what has to happen with a drama movie.

Strong characters, well played, i have no idea what movie the guy above me watched but this was absolutely a good movie.

It was even so good that i had to make a account here just to leave this review to tell you all to watch it when you have the chance.

You wont regret it, the score is definitely to low.

This is not a Denzel Washington movie. It is an engaging drama. The beginning was a little flat and familiar, but I enjoyed the plot twists. I did not see it as having any political message, but I can see how people with that predisposition may think it does.
