I would love to see an action movie where a badass Steven Seagal type character, has several scenes seeking guidance and strength in prayer, expresses humility, shows respect, and uses his tremendous skill with restraint, offering mercy to the misguided but giving no quarter and showing overwhelming power both in body and soul in the last fight against the truly satanic antagonist.

There has to be beautiful women in the movie. One of them could be a truly formidable female martial artist, who was working for the bad guys in the beginning, but ends up being on his side and trying to understand a complicated man and his faith.

And then afterwards he is shown withdrawing to an isolated place of contemplation where he kneels before his God and asks did I do right...did I misuse Your gift...heal me Lord of my anger and my pride. And finding peace.

End scene with him and his lady warrior friend sitting on the sand on the beach in Tonga, watching the sunset, finally able to just be a man and a woman together...with the impression that everything around them is beautiful but somehow evil lurks just over the horizon waiting it’s opportunity.

Actually it is a fairly common scene to see the hero as a Catholic who has drifted away from his church, yet seeks solace, or comfort, or advice, even confession and prayer by going to the Catholic church and interacting with priests.

What you don’t see, is a hero who is in any way, affiliated with our second largest denomination, the Southern Baptists, or any of the hated, republican voting Evangelicals.
