Money or Mission

About This Movie

Money or Mission (2006) explores a young man's internal struggle between ambition and service. Set against a backdrop of skate culture, the film dives into Patrick Gill's dilemma with an almost palpable tension. The pacing is deliberate, allowing the viewer to really sit with Patrick as he weighs his options, all while the vibrant atmosphere of the skateboarding world contrasts his serious choices. The performances are quite earnest, especially from the lead, who captures that youthful confusion well. The film has a raw quality, reflecting its indie roots, and there's a certain charm in how it handles its themes of faith versus ambition without being overly melodramatic. It’s an interesting look into personal sacrifice.
