    Have tissues on hand

    Indie films have come a long way or at least this one has. It simply does not look or feel like a production in its stated budget range. Having said that, the story itself is so intense and each character was portrayed beautifully by the actors. The three main actors were especially talented and believable in their performances. Without giving any of the movie away I'll just comment that you will need tissues.

    Wow! Just wow!

    Any time I see a locally made or low budget movie advertised I automatically expect it to be on a lower level than a traditional Hollywood production. Not putting those film efforts down but usually it takes a lot of money to make a movie like this one. While it isn't Top Gun or something you expect from Marvel it certainly was a pleasant surprise and I stayed focused until the end credits. No spoilers but I was drawn in and felt like I knew Jon personally after about 10 minutes into the movie. I felt his pain and could identify with much of his struggles. Very powerful spiritual message too! Highly recommend.

    Super LOVE it!

    I watched this at least 5 times already! The work and thoughtfulness that went into this story is AMAZING!! There should be more movies like this!!! In today's times we all need to forgive others and our selves and learn to except the Lord into our lives!! Great job to all involved in this movie and I pray there are more in the making!!! GOD BLESS!

    Hands down , Thumbs up, Truly inspiring

    Took my Wife and Mother to see the Premier of this movie, could have watched it again it so good. As someone who grew up in the system, a few details hit home for myself. Without giving anything away, by far my favorite part was with the case worker because she nailed her part. They get vindictive with little concern for the client. She was great in her acting. I've never been great at reveiws but I can honestly say that I enjoyed the whole cast , such talented people . If there were to be a follow up, a sequel, ill be the first in line .

    Great message

    This is what movies should be about. Everyone has struggles in life and choices for how to handle them. While this story involves an almost worst case scenario the element of salvation, which is available to us all, is there. The title's evocative which may initially cause concern among the Christian community but once you realize the context, God is honored. Hopefully saying that isn't a spoiler for anyone. Very well done; the effort of the actors and crew is obvious. Two thumbs way up!
