A Procura de Grace

This was the first true story movie I`d ever seen on re-encarnation and I had never given it much thought before but now it makes me wonder. I can`t wait to read the book now.

Search for Grace starts out as a unique thriller with effective flow from present to flashback, just enough gentleness and calm in the main plot balanced by some uncomfortable moments in the flashback. The acting is generally good but once Ken Wahl's character turns from nice-guy to vice-guy, the plot becomes typical: chase scene, couple of fights, increasing violence, the predictable conclusion. Too bad; there were a lot of nice set-up elements with the references to the 1920s and the Lindbergh flight and Lisa Hartman Black's easy going lifestyle.

Search for Grace is marred by a disappointingly predictable plotline. The actors do a nice job with mediocre material, and Ken Wahl manages to generate a fair amount of heat in his role as the villain. Worth seeing once, but choose Dead Again for a better reincarnation murder story.

I really enjoyed the film, I think it is a very good way of explaining reincarnation and the possible ramifications it can have on the next life. It dealt well with everyday issues such as the uncertainty many have of getting married to the wrong person. It had a good cast and the film was portrayed in a realistic way.

I have been trying to obtain a copy ever since I saw it, I wrote to channel 4 but they say they have never shown the film, so I am not sure which channel did show it a few years back.

Does anyone know where to get a copy? or does anyone have a copy they would sell? please E-mail 05095112@brookes.ac.uk Thanks Vic
