Critical Mass
5.0 out of 5 starsFATAL ATTRACTION 2.0
September 24, 2015
MISSIONARY is like FATAL ATTRACTION on steroids. The setting and background for this movie - Mormon proselytizers - is merely a vehicle for the warped psychopathology of one of them who dreams of a "united celestial family". Mitch Ryan (who plays the role of Elder Brock) is certainly highly credible as a youthful Mormon under the tutelage of fellow Mormon, Elder Whitehall. After what appeared to be a completely unsuccessful attempt to make any inroads with a woman named Katherine (separated at the time from her husband Ian, played by Kip Pardue), the situation suddenly reverses when Katherine's son Kesley gets some unexpected football help from Brock. A fall in the mud, a borrowed change of clothing, and a glance at a semi-nude young man, creates a domino effect that attracts Katherine's attention and stimulates her need and desires. One thing leads to another and, before you can say Utah, the two are entwined in a torrid affair. In the meantime, Katherine's husband wants to get back together which leads to a deadly and conflicted triangle. The rapidity with which Katherine and Brock's relationship evolved was then blunted and collapsed even more quickly. But Brock wasn't taking "NO" for an answer. Katherine then discovers the true nature and past of her would be lover/stalker. What follows is a rollercoaster ride of physical, emotional, and psychological conflict involving all major protagonists (with Kesley caught in the whirlpool). How it all comes to an explosive conclusion, I leave to the viewer. But make no mistake about it. There is plenty of gore and lethal action, not to mention a goodly number of F-bombs.
A pet rabbit in a pot of boiling water a la "Fatal Attraction" is nothing compared to what happens in "Missionary". As a final aside, this movie takes place in Florida where "stand your ground" and personal ownership of guns is the prevailing mentality - a fitting backdrop to the violence seen in MISSIONARY. Where are the "Jehova's Witnesses" when you need them?

3.0 out of 5 starsDon't mess with the Missionary Man....
February 12, 2015
Creepy missionary man gone bad and stalks the wife and mother he has come to know and love. Nice little sleeper movie about a missionary man who after spending some intimate time with a woman and her son he becomes dangerously close to them. It is your usual obsession type movie on a small budget, but this is the performances that make the movie work. Kip Pardue plays an attractive missionary man who seems nice on the outside, but holds several secrets deep down. His target is a woman and her son who are estranged from her husband, but as the movie goes along she slowly is finding her way back to him much to the dismay of the missionary.

Some intense moments, some spicy sex scenes and nice action wrap up this movie. While it could be just your basic lifetime network late night thriller Kip Pardue's performance pushes it over the edge.

4.0 out of 5 starsNo Punches Pulled
November 4, 2014
Format: Prime VideoVerified Purchase
Horror movies are my main thing, but I do love a good thriller about a sexually obsessive sociopath and this is one. It pulls absolutely no punches, especially not about the (repudiated, I hope) racist doctrine of the mark of Cain. But I find this movie to be critical of the Church of Latter Day Saints, not hateful... and the Church is a big and vibrant organization that can take the criticism standing up. As for the movie itself, DON'T believe those who say the acting is "terrible." It's not. It's intense, which is what the movie calls for.
My expectations of this movie were quite low and my satisfaction level very very high.

Great stalker movie with good insights into Mormon theology and how a neurotic psychopath would use that theology as a 'rationale' for his bizarre behavior. The acting was good and the performances believable.Good movie to rent or buy.

3.0 out of 5 starsReligious Freak Let-Down
November 11, 2014
Format: Prime VideoVerified Purchase
I sincerely enjoyed the premise of this film; young, Mormon missionaries embroiled in steamy sex scenes with frustrated housewives. Who wouldn't want to see that? Right? The first part of "Missionary" is truly entertaining. I was engrossed in its bucolic debauchery and was impressed with the cast and acting. But, I think the screenwriter over estimated the appeal of being stalked by a religious freak. The denouement was predictable and boring, a let down. However, the ethereal final scene was creative and unexpected. I wish the writer had more confidence in the audience to have added more of these freakish, Latter-Day Saint flashes. All in all, I wouldn't recommend "Missionary" if you're looking for anything but a run-of-the-mill stalker film.
