I wanted to give this five stars as a Christian myself I was hopeful that this movie would be good.

It is a good message but it is so slow. I mean slow, like 2001 space odyssey slow. So many long periods of nothing happening and mournful piano music. The music is pretty though. Joey Lawrence is usually a good actor but he was so sullen in this movie and as he said in his podcast he hasn't actually experienced what Scott has. So I am figuring that he didn't understand drug addicts all to well. He just should have maybe watched a few addicts and interviewed some actual prisoners maybe. Also there were songs sung throughout the movie and I don't know why Joey couldn't have sung. They didn't utilize his musical talent like they could have. It just could have been a better movie with a better director and editor I am sure. I bet Joey could have even done better with better direction.

It feels more like a Saturday Night Live spoof of an over-the-top Christian film. It's just unwatchable. Joey Lawerence doesn't have the acting range to make a believable reformed criminal. There's not any point where you can take Joey Lawrence seriously without laughing at his corny performance.

There are too many poorly written mass-produced Christian propaganda films. I doubt judges are spouting off an endless barrage of Bible quotes in court.

It's a far cry from Highway to Heaven or Touch By an Angel. It's missing character development and the film is too peachy to be believable in any way.

This is just another poor quality mass produced assembly line religious propaganda film with no substance.

When will America stop pushing all this tripe. From start to finish it feels like something you would hear in church on a Friday and in a movie this isn't a good thing.

Rather than promote self-belief and worth prisoners are taught to ask a higher power for help. For me this is just another way of avoiding responsibility.

Freedom and hope are things you must give yourself, no one not even some god can help you with this. Any progress gained hasn't come from a book it has come from within.

Unless you are quite religious give this film a miss as you will feel that it constantly preaches to you.
