Doug Blackwell: that is your God.
[gives Katherine the knife]
Doug Blackwell: Katherine.
Katherine Winter: [she doesn't take the knife] That wasn't God. God didn't kill my family. A weak, godless man filled with fear and hatred... a man like you. There's still that last plague, Doug. Death of the firstborn. You come from a long line of only children.

Trivia
Philip Glass was the film's original composer. His score had been written and recorded before he was replaced by John Frizzell. See more »Goofs
In the slide show presentation in the beginning of the film, there is a slide show displaying both methanol and ethanol. However, the molecular structure labeled as ethanol is in fact methanol, and methanol is labeled as ethanol. Also, the structures displayed for both other chemicals on the same slide, DMSO and benzene, are incorrect. See more »Quotes

Since there has been no re-make of The Ten Commandments, I thought this movie might adequately do what's advertised: show the 10 plagues (with today's special-effects). However, except for the attack of locusts, the plagues were confined to a tiny area and nothing really to see. I mean the flies were limited to a small barbecue!!! When the real plagues came, in Moses day, they encompassed quite an area and frogs, flies, locusts, etc., came by the millions. Here, about 20 frogs dropped from the sky in a lake. It was ridiculous....and disappointing.
I also thought Hilary Swank was enough of a big-name actress that this wouldn't be some cheesy B-movie.
Wrong. This has a "B" feel to it all the way. Even the "twist" at the end is very predictable.
A 'B' film is exactly what it was, making me wonder how someone could go from "Million Dollar Baby" to this in so short a time. The only other name actor in here is Stephen Rea, and he has a small role.
Overall, it's not as terrible as I might be making it to be because it's entertaining enough to keep your interest - so I give it five points for that - but I expected more.
