Brother's Keeper

The only good thing about the film is Michael Rooker. He is the only actor that convinces you of what's happening on screen.

The idea that you need religion to seek forgiveness or redemption is an archaic notion. Within the Christian community I'm sure there are a lot of people that will enjoy the film regardless of how poorly made it was, but to grant this film a good review based upon religious foundations is plain silly.

It is safe to say that this movie will absolutely not seek any kind of critical acclaim from any serious critic. The Christian community will do more than enough to provide viewers of "Brother's Keeper" IMDb page with the idea that this film is some how a "cinematic master piece."

We really like the new release, "Brother's Keeper Film", produced by the industry's up and coming Steven Camp, Josh Mills and TJ Amato of Desert Wind Films. It's a period piece set in the late 1950's that takes advantage of gorgeous Georgia scenery in the southeast, U.S.A. The theme - forgiveness - is of universal appeal. The cinematography and musical score are absolutely enchanting. Adam Grant and band "Bad Horse" debut a fantastic rendition of an old time favorite, Amazing Grace. A talented slate of actors compiles a cast that brings this faith-based movie to life. Michael Rooker (The Walking Dead's Merle), Country's Hit star - Travis Tritt, Ray Wise (look him up - oh yeah!), athlete Peter Boulware, Shaun Clay, Daniel Samonas (Disney's Wizzard of Waverly Place)... the list goes on and I haven't even mentioned the leading roles played by twins Alex and Graham Miller! In the movie to keep track of which brother is which ... think Pastor PETE and Angry ANDY. That little tip helped me :) Just under 2 hours in length, this is wholesome entertainment at it's finest. Limited release in a dozen markets Nov. 1st. Intended for a broader release in 2014.

I liked the story, the acting, and could see the end coming into focus before the ending, yet stuck around for the full story. It delivered a powerful message about the road of life and all the unjust, hateful, sorry souls and godly ones too, and the plot twists reminded one of life itself. So in the end it was the power of love to balance hate that we see on display. If you have God in your life this movie is a screamer, but regardless the power of love over hate shines a bright light and I would recommend it to everyone in this time of covid-19. Perhaps it might even enable those hesitant to get vaccinated to do so for the love of the other.

Yes, This movie is about redemption, faith and forgiveness, but it doesn't 'sugar coat' the edges of life with an unrealistic preachy, utopian society. One that ultimately work out their differences, walking hand and hand into the sunset. This is a gritty, period crime drama that reveals the inherent ugliness in human nature... additionally showing how we can overcome that ugliness w love. I highly recommend you watch the movie for the 'story', and don't adopt a preconceived notion of the quality simply bc it's a 'faith' centric project.

This might as well have been a recruitment tool to get people to turn to religion. It was the exact opposite of what was in the description on premium HDNet cable; revenge for having been wronged. Religion wasn't what I had hoped to see 2 hours of.

How they got Michael Rooker and Ray Wise to do this pointless P. O. S. I have NO idea.
