IMHO, “Knowing” is an underrated, outstanding movie. I detected some “overtly religious themes” in that one also.
It kept me nailed to my seat which is unusual.
Normally, I’m hitting pause, having a snack, FReeping, playing with the dogs...just generally not watching a movie straight through.
[by the time it was over, I had to race to the bathroom...don’t drink a whole bottle of spring water before watching “Knowing”]....:))
I thought it was “religious”, too.
[and yes, I cried at the end]
