The Keyman

'The Keyman: Finding Redemption' is amazing!! I LOVED it!

The story was beautiful,exciting and heartbreaking. This has to be the BEST movie I've ever seen Adam Baldwin in..(Next to MY BODYGUARD, and RADIO FLIER, two great films) He is a highly talented actor, the entire cast was awesome.

Actually, this is one of the best films I've seen all year, maybe longer. That doesn't say much for all the 'big budget' directors and filmmakers. Sometimes they try too hard. I was so surprised, I didn't realize the depth of Keyman's psychological problems. I couldn't also help thinking, if you took the main characters, Keyman and Popeye and put them in a comedy, They would be hilarious. I'll admit that I cracked up laughing more than once. This is my type of movie. My complaint, it wasn't longer. Thank You Daniel for sharing your story.

This movie starts off a little slow, but builds up into a movie that you don't want to end, because if it ends then you have to discover and accept that life is never easy and the pain and emotions of the main character (Adam Baldwin) are raw and never ending, and that the guilt that he carries around with him is with him constantly.

a woman helping out at homeless shelter who cannot forget the past and is tortured by it

this movie has plenty of tears but also some laughs with the character called Popeye, he is a friend of Adam Baldwin's character and his own story is sad but life seems to go on for him, and in his own little life he has his own demons to face.

i recommend this movie to everyone who enjoys a good movie and also a good cry

The Keyman is truly spectacular. The story was moving, the characters fully developed and the acting was brilliant. Adam Baldwin, as the lead will bring you to tears from his very first scene and will take you on a journey of emotion from laughter to raw pain. The script is tight and the dialogue is haunting. This movie takes the cliché of `people make mistakes' and gives it meaning beyond its words. It shows you the ugly consequences of those mistakes and how learning to forgive, not only others, but ourselves has more healing power than years of self-loathing. We may not be able to change the past, but we can learn to move on and start to live again. The Keyman is a story that will stick with you and a movie that will touch your heart.

'The Keyman: Finding Redemption' is one of the most touching movies I have ever seen. I could tell the director put a lot of time and effort into making this film come to life. The whole cast was outstanding and true to reality. I felt I could connect with them on many levels.

Adam Baldwin stood out to me the most. He portrayed a tortured soul so well that throughout the whole movie I wanted to help him in any way I could. I felt his character's pain and guilt from beginning to end. Director Daniel Millican's choice for the Keyman was perfect and I don't think anyone else could have played it as wonderfully as Adam did.

In my mind this movie deserves an Oscar for best film and an Oscar for best actor. I truly feel that all the people in reach of a V.C.R or DVD player should see this beautiful movie and the beautiful people who brought it to life.

it made me cry.

you can say whatever you want about the writing, the acting, the directing, the production, the music & what-have-you, but the bottom line for me is:

it made me cry.

also, having dealt with the homeless, i appreciated the extreme realism of the homeless scenes & the characters being portrayed, because whenever an out-of-it homeless person says something particularly brilliant, or insightful (which i've personally witnessed myself dozens of times), it makes you think two things: 1) "man! there's a REAL PERSON inside there!" & 2) "what in the world happened to them to make them like THIS?"

i believe this movie answers that question (in a general way) &, for this reason, i'd like to see it shown in all sociology &/or psychology courses, all churches & to every single person involved in homeless ministry.

because everyone has a story, amen?

i also think popeye (tom wright) is the best thing that happened to this movie & i'd love to see a sequel that deals with HIS story.

peace & blessings 2 all, barefoot Christian <><
