I never saw the movie Hardcore and I doubt I want to but the author of "Calvinism in the Las Vegas Airport" (Mouw) tells of this scene in the movie...

In the movie Hardcore, a pious Calvinist elder tries unsuccessfully to explain the TULIP theology of his Dutch Reformed faith to a prostitute in the Las Vegas airport. This incongruous conversation demonstrates how Calvinism is often perceived today: irrelevant, harsh, even disrespectful.
