***Effective low-budget rendition of the second book in the popular series*** After millions of people all over the earth mysteriously disappear, the world turns to a charismatic man to lead them, the new president of the U.N. (Gordon Currie). A small band of believers in Chicago recognize him as the Antichrist and work together as the “Tribulation Force” to save as many as they can. The group includes a renowned reporter (Kirk Cameron), a formidable pilot (Brad Johnson), his daughter (Janaya Stephens) and the pastor of their assembly (Clarence Gilyard Jr.). Released in 2002, "Left Behind II: Tribulation Force" is the follow-up to “Left Behind” (2000) with the same cast, which was remade in 2014 with a bigger budget and truncated plot. The story is based on prophetic accounts of end-time events from the Bible. I have studied eschatology (end-times prophecies) and do advocate the pre-Tribulation "Rapture" based on scriptures like 1 Thessalonians 4:13-18 and Luke 17:24,34-35. Of course the Left Behind series is a fictional story and you don't have to believe in the Bible whatsoever to enjoy the movie for what it is, a "What if the Rapture really happened" mystery/drama/thriller. I don't believe in powerful androids that time-travel from the future, but that doesn't prevent me from enjoying the Terminator flicks. This sequel cost a little less than the 2000 film ($3.8 million) and is less busy story-wise. It has the confidence to take its time with convincing acting in challenging roles. I read the book and wondered how it could be made into a compelling movie because it’s more dramatic than the first one; in other words, there’s far less thrills until the last act, not to mention a considerable romantic subplot. The screenwriters did a great job of cutting out the fat and strategically adding some well-done evangelical bits, which aren’t overdone. The apocalyptic ending of the book was obviously omitted because it would’ve added 20-30 minutes to the runtime and would’ve cost significantly more. The filmmakers did a good job of finding the right place to close. Being shot in Toronto, I was wondering how they would pull off the Jerusalem sequences at the end, but they did a splendid job with the studio sets, particularly considering this is a low-budget flick. The film runs 1 hour, 34 minutes. ADDITIONAL CAST includes Krista Bridges as the journalist’s assistant and Chelsea Noble (Cameron’s wife) as a flight attendant working for the Antichrist. GRADE: B
