King's Faith

A far more realistic but positive view of religion is presented here in King's Faith. It's the story of young Brendan King played by Crawford Wilson who is a young man newly released from juvenile prison where he was saved. Wilson is taken in by James McDaniel late of NYPD Blue and his wife Lynn Whitfield who lost their son who was a police officer presumably for the Rochester, NY PD. The film was shot in and around Rochester and one of its more conservative suburbs of Greece.

Not believing that Wilson has reformed is detective Christopher Jon Martin. And aiding and abetting that view is Brandon Correa who was one of Wilson's gang running buddies back in the day. Correa has his own reasons for wanting Wilson back in the old life.

In the end Wilson does find he has the character to withstand temptation though he goes through some nasty trials.

King's Faith is a Christian film that lays off the heavy duty preaching and is placed in a realistic setting. The ensemble cast is good and sincere. I'd recommend it for more than church audiences although it is flawed in one respect. No way did Crawford Wilson do any decent amount of time and still be of an age to go back into high school and graduate.
