Pass the Ammo

About This Movie

Pass the Ammo is a curious little gem from the late '80s that dives into the absurdity of the televangelism world. It's got this offbeat tone – a mix of dark humor and slapstick. The pacing sometimes lags in spots, but the absurdity of the hostage situation keeps it interesting. The performances are a mixed bag; some actors really lean into the eccentricities, while others seem a bit lost. You can't help but notice the practical effects and the rather campy atmosphere they create. The film just has this vibe that feels both playful and biting, a satire that doesn’t shy away from poking fun at those who exploit faith for profit. It’s quirky, and that’s what makes it distinctive.
