    • Trivia
      This movie was based on the Book of Judges.
    • Goofs
      This movie shows modern "ears" of what North Americans call "corn" and other places call "maize". The plant "maize" comes from the Americas and thus was never available in biblical times in any place mentioned in the Holy Bible. The Holy Bible (King James Version) does use the word "corn"; but that term referred to grains such as wheat or rye or barley. So, the use of maize in an Old Testament setting is an anachronism based upon a linguistic misinterpretation.

    It had its moments
    Not a bad movie, Overall.

    Based in the Bible tale of Samson, it was more action packed and adventurous than I was expecting. Pureflix did a decent job bringing the tale to life. Taylor James is not the most intriguing actor. He definitely looks the part though, and that was important for the moments of feats of strength. Not the best movie or the best adaption of the story but it was a good film to watch.
