Pursuit of Freedom

This is a story of tragedy during a young families struggle and hardship. It involves trafficking, abduction, abuse, cancer, and one mothers love which was so powerful, she beat all the barriers to see her children once more. This is also a tale of Christian ministry which assists and takes on the responsibilities regardless of laws as they only have one goal, caring for 3 children. It's a tale of hurt, sorrow, redemptive works as well as forgiveness for those who caused this tragedy. A 5.5? Seriously? Why such a low rating? This movie was wonderful! Also the reason why I take reviews with a grain of salt. You won't find Hollywood trash and nudity here. Just a pure story with pure heart.

An inspiring movie that shows what happens when we really put our trust in Jesus. Even though I cried a lot, it was a wonderful movie of how God will use us if we let Him. I always love it when movies are about real people in real life situations. This deals with the struggles of epic proportion that would be impossible to deal with without Christ. This movie is well written and the acting is very good. It is a valuable lesson in following the Holy Spirit as He guides them throughout this movie. I highly recommend it for everyone except young children. Perhaps in the early teens and up. I'd give more stars if they were available.

Words can not describe how wonderful and heartfelt this movie is. George A. Johnson did terrific job. He and this family are certainly blessed. Not many movies bring tears to my eyes, but this one surely did with how heartfelt it was. You can feel God's presence all through this film.

I certainly and highly recommend seeing this movie. A majority of Christian films these days don't seem real, but this one will touch your heart. I've always heard Five stars being the highest rating, but I give this movie ten stars. I'm excited to see what all movies George A. Johnson comes up with next. Thank you.

The script was great, the acting was great, and the movie gave me all the feels. It is not always an easy movie to watch, but a movie worth watching. Add it to your watch list today. You will not regret the time you spend engrossed in this storyline. Sadly human trafficking is alive and "well" today, and not just over "there" in Europe, but here in the big cities and small towns of America. I'm praying for an end to this evil practice. This is not a movie for small children, but a good one to watch with your teens, to spark discussions and prayer time within your family or church group. Rent it or go to the theater today, but definitely support this film.

So, this movie is based on a true story and I actually know two of the people who were directly involved in the events that took place. The film is extremely accurate as to what took place with this family and most of the movie was actually well done. Yes, it is a B-list movie but the camera work, the editing, the acting is all surprisingly well done... EXCEPT for the accents. This might just be my own bias and my own experience but the accents are absolutely horribly done and made it hard for me to continue watching and finishing the movie.

With that being said, it's a decent Christian film and while it's far from being one of the best, it's also not one of the worst. When I first heard this story, it was amazing to hear how God worked through his people to get these kids to the church and later to be reunited with their mother. Overall, the pacing of the movie is way too slow and again... the accents... are atrocious.
