If Persecuted wasn't such a dire thriller, its sweaty fear of pluralism might at least be amusing.

The Dissolve
Just why one particular TV preacher is so all-fired important isn't clear, and neither is anything else about this overwrought mess.

New York Times
Rating: 2/4 --
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.

Rating: 2.5/5 --
Persecuted matches its conservative beliefs to an anachronistic narrative structure and dated cinematic execution.

Austin Chronicle
Rating: 1/4 --
Lusko's leaden dialogue and heavy-handed symbolism is as unintentionally comical as the miscasting of Fox News host Gretchen Carlson as a journalist.
Salt Lake Tribune
Straw-man cinema doesn't get much more ludicrous than this heavy-handed, Christian-themed minister-on-the-run thriller.

Woe to the filmmakers of 'Persecuted.'
Full Review
Quad City Times (Davenport, IA)
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.

Product Description:
A popular evangelist races to clear his name after being framed for murder by a U.S. senator in this topical thriller from writer/director Daniel Lusko (RIPTIDE, NEVER SURRENDER). The winds of religious reform are blowing through the United States, but influential preacher John Luther (James Remar) is the one man who stands in the way of progress. As a result, Lusko incurs the wrath of a sinister U.S. senator, who turns the pastor into a media pariah by kidnapping him and implicating him in the murder of a teenage girl. Meanwhile, Luther plots to expose those who are exploiting the innocent girl's death for profit, and learns that America's Christian community will soon face mass persecution. Dean Stockwell and Bruce Davidson co-star.
