Full Plot Details

Seth Warner has reached the end of his rope. Ever since his wife died two years earlier, his world has been in turmoil. He is despondent, his career has fallen apart, even his house has been destroyed. There seems to be nothing left for him to live for. Confused and angry after two years of suffering, he finally directs his wrath at God from the rooftop of his apartment building in New York City. In the midst of a wild thunderstorm he demands to know why he has been betrayed by the god he has believed in and honored his whole life. God's answer is to strike down Seth's dog in a bolt of lightning. Pushed beyond his limits, Seth decides to respond to his years of torment by breaking each of the biblical Ten Commandments. While staying with his sister-in-law, Rachel, much to the chagrin of her shifty reporter husband, Harry, he systematically sets out to break each commandment one by one. A natural at breaking commandments, Harry is drawn to Seth's mission in the hopes of using it to further his career, but ultimately they clash as Seth turns the table and uses Harry to fulfill some of his missions. Things get further complicated when Rachel and Seth are romantically drawn to each other as he struggles with his crisis of faith and she struggles with a failing marriage. Inevitably, Seth comes down to the last and most important commandment, Thou shall not kill. In a climactic battle of will and redemption, Seth, Harry and Rachel cross paths with a raging hurricane at the far end of Long Island. Echoing Seth's first confrontation with God, the sky and the sea open up in this fateful encounter at the Montauk Lighthouse. Individually, each confronts forces beyond human control and more importantly, must come to an understanding of their own life choices and decisions. The resolution to the story for all characters is surprising, mystical and ultimately just.

Movie Reviews

Spirituality and Practice - 5/10 by Frederic and Mary Ann BrussatExplores one grieving man's postgraduate course in moral education.
TheMovieReport.com - 0/10 by Michael DequinaTries to go both ways with the material, mining the plot for laughs and profound existential drama, but nothing gels on either level.
CNN.com - 0/10 by Carol BucklandQuinn is excellent as Seth. He's smart, he's sexy, and he lends a special spirit to his square-off with the Lord.
User Review - 10/10 by Andy PI been there,wanting to defy God for the things wronged in my life.
User Review - 10/10 by Leonard MHere is where I part ways from everyone I know. I love the movie Commandments because it is a dark, playful exploration of ideas I care about. Also I like intensity, and my personality is more melancholy than anything else. I like dark ironic humor. When I was growing up in a seventhday adventist home, the importance of still keeping all of the old testament commandments was stressed quite a lot, and of course I was and still am rebellious towards the specific brand of religion I grew up with. However, I still sometimes believe in some of the ideas I grew up with. Commandments fits within this framework of sort of believing, but then again almost making fun of the idea of old testament commandment keeping at the same time. In the end all the main character comes to understand is "There might be something really big out there". That vague proclamation is something I can agree with. There has to be some reason for so many mythological stories to include the idea of gods messing with our lives. Many classical works such as Shakespeare also include ideas about fate. I guess people have always been curious about the big questions. I see a little of all of this in this movie. My reasons for liking it are strange though, and specific to my background. Quotes: "How do you explain a miracle in a world that can explain everything?...What if it was fate? How do you fight that? What do you fight it with? Heart, faith, soul? Aw, but how the hell would I know? I don't believe in fairy tales--but--I do know that what I [i]don't [/i]know might be a lot bigger than I thought." I do enjoy a good movie about a troubled soul like myself finding some sort of inner peace. How can most people not like a movie with this many interesting questions in it? A funny, sometimes irreverant movie about faith in the real world.
User Review - 10/10 by Gareth WClassic movie. This movie brings out the reality of many people these days that feel God is against them. The awesome song by Tito and Tarantula - After Dark provides the climax. No pun intended.
User Review - 10/10 by Richard KThis is like a cross between the book of Jonah and Job. This is a good redemption story.
User Review - 8/10 by Sirius BI love movies about fate, because it leads me to believe everything has a purpose.
User Review - 8/10 by Desirae MThis movie alone is resposible for my love towards Scream, Friends, and any other movie with Courteney Cox. Because if I hadn't loved her in this movie I probably wouldn't have watched the rest of her movies. I don't know what it was about this movie exactly but MAN I loved her in it.
User Review - 8/10 by Mary Beth PThis is not a movie that I would normally watch, but it happened to come on TV and I watched it. I thought it had an interesting point of view and was an interesting view overall.
