Outline
The List, a supernatural thriller, begins at the close of the Civil War, when a cabal of Southern businessmen formed a secret pact to preserve their personal wealth. A century and a half later, a frustrated young lawyer named Renny Jacobsen (Chuck Carrington, JAG) discovers he's been cut out of his estranged father's will--but when he opens a locked box, he discovers a far more complicated inheritance that leads him to meet an attractive woman named Jo Johnston (Hilarie Burton, One Tree Hill) and the charming but mephistophelean Desmond Larochette (played by the charming but mephistophelean Malcolm McDowell), who leads the descendants of the original cabal. As Jacobsen learns how his history is tied up in this ominous list of names, he finds himself torn between his morals and his craving for money. Based on the Christian novel by Robert Whitlow, The List does its best to make the most of a low budget, focusing on character and story rather than special effects or visual style. Ultimately it's more about the power of prayer than being scary, though McDowell does his best to foster a sinister atmosphere. While Christian viewers may find the ending affirming, nonbelievers may find it a bit anticlimactic. --Bret Fetzer

 | "The List is all about power!" (1/2 star) May 25, 2010 |
THE LIST might have been a good movie if the producers could have figured out what kind of movie this was supposed to be. It starts out like a John Grisham novel, makes a sharp left into Stephen King territory, and ends up being a commercial for TV evangelism. Described as a "supernatural thriller" it lacks thrills.
Renny Jacobson is the "104th lawyer out of 104" at his Firm. His estranged father dies, leaving Renny nothing of his $22,000,000 fortune. Nevertheless, Renny's father leaves instructions regarding "The List" and "The Covenant of South Carolina." Not long after, Renny is invited to a Board Meeting of this mysterious group, which turns out to be the Original Good Ol' Boys Club.
So far, so good. The old men of the Covenant, all descendants of a group that spirited away the Confederacy's precious metals, consider themselves the Masters of The World. Renny really doesn't fit in. Neither does Renny's friend, another young new member. Neither does Renny's girlfriend, the last daughter of her family line, mistakenly invited because the Covenant members thought she was a "Joseph" not a "Josephine". In short order, "Jo" is kicked out of the group and falls ill. Renny's friend dies of an apparent heatstroke during a Civil War re-enactment.
This is where THE LIST derails. It soon turns out that the Chairman of the Board has dark arcane powers and is using them to rearrange the world to his liking. Renny soon finds himself disbarred, broke, and friendless. In desperation, he turns to his (African-American) Nanny for help. Suddenly, THE LIST espouses Muscular Fundamentalist Christianity as an anodyne to the ills caused by the Covenant members. All this drama fizzles at the endpoint, with Renny shouting, "It's over!" and stalking out of the Boardroom.
Thank God it's over.
THE LIST markets itself to a general audience, so I felt rather offended to be force-fed a Bible Studies course when I wasn't expecting one. I already went to Sunday School, thanks, and the corny melange of elements that make up this milquetoast tale of Good versus Evil didn't do credit to either. And, in the end, Renny's still broke and unemployed while the Covenant lives on. What's the moral? | | |  | How it's done in the South Dec 24, 2009 |
| This was a very good story of how things were done and maybe still are in the South. It held my interest and I would recommend it. I loaned it to my girl friend and she liked it also. | | |  | Disappointing Dec 3, 2009 |
| I bought this movie after reading reviews on several family-oriented sites. The acting is "okay" but the flow of the movie keeps getting chopped up with awkward transitions, and most disappointing, it has an overemotional yet anticlimactic end. The author probably did a better job of building up to the climax in the book, but I found that the way that the director chose to frame the sequences dealing with the "power of prayer" just detracted from the forward motion of the movie and gave it a pagan overtone. Its a movie I hoped to pass around in my community but one that will probably end up sitting on my shelf. | | |  | Okay but... Sep 24, 2009 |
| Having read the book I was disappointed that the spiritual fullness expressed in the book did not carry over to the movie. Where there was a powerful presence of God in the book, the movie just translated ordinary hum-drum. Almost like it was edited out for some reason. Too bad it could have been a great witness. Not a bad movie just not great. | | |  | pretty satisfied Aug 11, 2009 |
| Nothing really bad to report here. Good video, pretty good condition. Dvd came loose during shipping, but case was sealed fine. | | | Write your own review about List
