Badge of Faith

I was in the Roanoke city police academy when this particular incident happened,but I remember hearing about it. Very tragic. I really liked the movie. Bryan was a great guy from what everyone told me. Terrible this happened to him. Reading some of the other reviews in the review section was quite disheartening,and I think it has more to do with these people either having a very weak faith,or a disdain for Christianity in general. I never knew he went into ministry and became a reverend. At the department where I worked,I do remember that he was a very very well liked individual who was loved by many!

This is a good movie. It demonstrates the hard lessons that life throws at us when things beyond our control slam into us. Our policemen and first responders have a very difficult job. They put their lives on the line every day. This movie works to show that and how a faith in God is so important when things go crashing into us. There are parts of the movie that could be improved, but overall, this is a good movie. I enjoyed watching it. This policeman had his life upended suddenly and completely. And it's a true story. God bless you as you watch it.

The nuts and bolts to make a good movie are there, it may show similarities to other Christian movies...and in other ways, quite different. The 'movie' music is stupendous as are some of the drone shots. The backdrop of Roanoke mostly provides impressive scenery.

Christian themes but not on the corny or sappy side and done in a limited manner IMO.

But filming Bryan Lawrence's up-and-down recovery, this was something else and the best part. I've never seen anything like this in all the hospital or illness type movies there are. This facet of the movie is masterful. And the lead actor excelled in this role.

I love baseball. Just because a movie has baseball in it, doesn't make it good. Same with Christian movies. Just because Jesus is in it somewhere, doesn't make it good.

The acting was horrible, production was sadly, poor and the directing was non-existent.

I could never get emotionally involved with the story. The main character's acting was wooden and unemotional. There were a few contrived laughs that I found to be not so funny.
