The Rally-LA: Breaking The Curse

"The Rally-LA: Breaking the Curse”: Can a man ever be satisfied with money, cars, houses, airplanes and the fullness of this world? The answer is no! Antonio Miguel Sarka Sr. (Kenneth Copeland) is that man. Even though Sarka seems to find all that he needs in “The Rally 1," his heart is telling him that he needs more from life. In “The Rally-LA,” we will see that love will cause a man to lay down his riches, his pride and even his life in order to reach the most precious thing in the world to him -- his family. Now on the move to the big city of Los Angeles, Sarka is being called to the City of Angels for a date with destiny.

Santiago (Eric Roberts) is the ruthless head of his own criminal empire in Los Angeles, and he doesn’t feel the same way as his brother, Sarka. He owns the mayor, Paul Mitchell (Curtis Taylor), other city officials and high ranking police officers, controls the drug cartels and holds the city and its people captive. He senses an ominous shift is coming. Santiago is a man willing to do whatever it takes. He’ll put everything on the line to keep his brother out of his way in "The Rally-LA."

Dove Review

“The Rally LA: Breaking The Curse” is a powerful story about redemption and shows that no one is ever too far gone for God to reach. It’s a story about a man who shifts his priorities from money and the things of this world to God and to his family. Kenneth Copeland and Eric Roberts do a commendable job in playing Sarka and Santiago, brothers from Cuba who are heading down entirely different paths. Santiago is still a drug lord, dealing cocaine, but Sarka has given up dealing drugs to follow God. He hopes to bring Santiago to God, but Santiago is entrenched in darkness. This story is about the battle for a man’s soul. The themes include the changes God can make in a man’s life, repentance, and family love.

Due to some objectionable content, we are awarding this movie our Faith Based Seal, meaning it has some strong content but also features a strong faith message. And that message is that God will forgive anyone of their sins, if they will but ask.
