This movie is the fourth installment of the 'Apocalypse' series of movies. This movie does not require that the previous movies be watched. But it does start exactly where the third one left of and then jumps a few months forward. This movie is a courtroom drama that happens to have a small subplot of action thrown in. I think this subplot was written in order to give Mr. T something to do.
It is the end times foretold in the Biblical book of Revelation. The Antichrist, Franco Macalusso, has most of the world bearing his mark. Helen Hannah, arrested for her Christianity in "Tribulation", is being put on trial in the O.N.E. court of justice. Councilor Mitch Kendrick (whose father, Seth, was an executed hater he defended) is irritated to find, not only that his ex-lover Vicky will be the prosecutor but, like in his father's trial, the whole thing will be fake. Meanwhile, Helen's band of believers want to rescue her, but J.T. Quincy, husband of Selma Davis' daughter, Sherry, wants to use violence to do it. Meanwhile, Helen soon learns that the mark of the beast on Mitch's hand is a black market forgery.
The production value of this movie is the highest of all the four and the courtroom script is good. All of the actors involved in the courtroom do a wonderful job of acting. Bringing their characters to life. And the scenes appeared to be shot in real sets. Looks like they are doubling their budget to make higher quality movies. Watch the movie for the trial.

It now appears Helen Hannah didn't die in the previous film but has been saved for a mega trial.
Coren Berenson is the prosecution. I can't help but feel this was a bit of type casting, given his LA Law connection, but it is still worth watching.
The disapointing appearance is by Mr T, a good actor but wated in this role.
The cours scene is imressive and is enjoyable, but there is nothing outstanding about the film like the other 2. Well, there i one surprise, but I won't tell you what it is in advance.
Worth watching as its part of the films, but not a great film.
Confusion arrises, as it is called O.N.E. in the UK, and judgement here.

Best in the series!
11 Nov 2002
Format:VHS Tape
"God vs. Man" is the basic premise of this story. Set in the near future, humanity has experienced a devestating incident--millions of people suddenly disappeared worldwide. The chaos that follows unites the nations under a global government led by Nick Mancouso.
The government line is that those who disappeared were reactionary religionists who served to retard humanity's evolution toward spiritual unity and enlightenment. Anti-government rebels claim that the global leader is the biblical anti-Christ of the New Testament book of Revelation, and that those who disappeared were Christians, whom God had taken up to heaven, just prior to a period of great judgment.
Accusations are tossed back and forth, and ultimately Helen Hannah, the leader of the rebels, is captured and put on trial for treason against humanity. However, her defense attorney says Hannah is not to blame--that she is a deluded follower of God--and that it is God who should be on trial.
The dialogue and plot are much crisper than previous ones in this series. The attorneys are passionate, yet cool and persuasive. The protaganist is both vulnerable and resolute--a powerfully nuanced combination that is most believable.
A subplot, in which those in the rebel camp argue over how much violence they can use for their cause, proved a messier storyline. It might have helped the overall product to drop this element, and enhance the main battle a bit more.
Overall, this was an excellent product--the most professional of the set.

when 2 + 2 = 5

Format:VHS Tape
As we find ourselves tumbling into an upside-down world, where misinformation is "news" and truth is in scarce supply, this is a thought-provoking film, well acted and scripted, with a few action scenes thrown in for good measure.
It is a B movie with A+ entertainment value, and doesn't leave you with that "why did I waste my time on that dribble" feeling afterwards.

Some of the acting is exceptional; Leigh Lewis is excellent as Helen Hannah, who is jailed for "crimes" she did not commit, and Nick Mancuso is marvelous as the slithery and suave Anti-Christ, Franco Macalousso, ruler of the ultimate tyranny, a one-world government, who with his velvety-voiced delivery says the qualities he admires in a man are "self-centeredness, self-pity, pride and vengefulness".
Corbin Bernsen is convincing as the defense attorney, who has to decide which master he will serve, and get off the fence he has been sitting on all of his empty life, with a bottle for comfort.
Throroughly enjoyable is Mr. T, as a man who realizes that one has to confront the wicked, at whatever cost ("all is takes for evil to prosper is for good people to do nothin'"). Though not a "master actor", his charisma fills the screen when he's on camera.
With a fine score by Gary Koftinoff, and well-paced direction by Andre van Heerden, who also co-wrote the clever script with Peter and Paul Lalonde, this is a low-buget film that gives us viewing value, with something to think about while we watch. Total running time 1 hour and 40 minutes.

TRULY A GOD-LED PRODUCTION!
17 Mar 2001
Format:DVD
Not only is this the second best film in the APOCALYPSE series (#1 is REVELATION), but it is a real mind-thinker. It shows how everybody, wether they're Christian, Buddhist, Jewish , or of any religion, will put their faith on trial. We'll question what we believe and why we believe it. Right up their on my Top 5 Favorite films list (1. THE PATRIOT; 2. LEFT BEHIND; 3. REVELATION; 4. JUDGMENT; 5. TRIBULATION). Buy It! See It! Love It! Grade: A+
