Dove Review

“Return to Zion Ranch” features a faith-based message and terrific scenery. A man named Jacob Israel is the father of 12 sons. They were each named after the 12 tribes of Israel; for example, Gad, Benjamin, and Asher. They worked on the ranch with their father, but after some time passes, they all desire to go on an adventure and experience life. Jacob contacts his sons sometime after they leave to let them know some evil men are out after the ranch and mean to harm him as well. The plot focuses on the sons returning to defend their father and the ranch. This will involve a lot of gun play and action.

Various spiritual comments are made by the father and sons and prayer is offered up in the movie as well. Due to the vast amount of deaths from shooting, we are awarding the film our Faith-Based Seal, meaning it has a strong faith message along with some strong material, namely the violence. The theme of family loyalty and faith in God to turn things around are nicely played out in this movie.
