(Christian Film)Rating - PG - 13
This action packed movie is fascinating. I love that it has a strong Christian message. I also love that Louis Gossett, Jr. is one of the actors!
The story starts with a tragic accident that causes bitterness and pain in the father, Mac. He is a police officer and sees crime and suffering on a daily basis. He is bitter and judgemental, but there is a heart somewhere inside him. His interaction with his wife and teenage son is hard to watch, but very common in today's homes. Many can relate to the sacrifices parents make for their children, which seem to go unnoticed and unappreciated. How this all plays out in Officer Mac's life is encouraging and inspiring. The People and events which were brought into his life, can happen to any of us. It gave me hope, as I watched, seeing grace and long-suffering in action. I was absolutely delighted with how his fellow officer (and partner) handled him, prayed for him, and never gave up, no matter how much he wanted to. I was also inspired by the many Christian people, in his everyday life, who helped bring healing to Mac and his family.
The film has a strong message to help alleviate racial prejudices. This came through so clearly, that I could see it working in many kinds of relationships - neighbors, co-workers and even family members.
Overall, it is an excellent film, which made me cry repeatedly. I highly recommend it for older teens and adults.
