In Theaters: INSURGENT, THE GUNMAN, DO YOU BELIEVE ?, ACCIDENTAL LOVE

in-theaters-insurgent-the-gunman-do-you-believe-accidental-love

Apart from the Young Adult adaptation "Insurgent", a sequel to last year's "Divergent", and the Sean Penn action vehicle "The Gunman", the week is pretty quiet in terms of new releases. Two other attention-grabbing new releases are the faith-based drama "Do You Believe ?" and the limited release of the David O. Russell romantic comedy "Accidental Love" which was actually disavowed by the director after a very troubled production (more details on that here). Even worse is that none of these movies are any good, according to the critics. Read more about each movie after the jump.

Synopses, details, critical reception, trailers, clips and more after the jump.


INSURGENT

Racing against time, they must find out what Tris's family sacrificed their lives to protect, and why the Erudite leaders will do anything to stop them.

DO YOU BELIEVE?


Do You Believe Movie Image

Official Synopsis

A dozen different souls-all moving in different directions, all longing for something more. As their lives unexpectedly intersect, they each are about to discover there is power in the Cross of Christ ... even if they don't believe it. Yet. When a local pastor is shaken to the core by the visible faith of an old street-corner preacher, he is reminded that true belief always requires action. His response ignites a faith-fueled journey that powerfully impacts everyone it touches in ways that only God could orchestrate. This stirring new film from the creators of God's Not Dead arrives in theaters Spring of 2015. More than a movie, it's a question we all must answer in our lifetimes: DO YOU BELIEVE?
