I thought this was a well acted, good paced movie, it held my interest with enough realism and story line, and anyone who is a Christian knows what this movie is trying to convey, and on the whole does a great job of entertaining as well. "I do believe" Jesus is the only way to God via His death on a cross, God proved His worthy sacrifice by raising Him from the dead so I know that when this life ends for me, I will be more alive than I have ever been...... do you believe?

There is nothing wrong about showing how people care about other people. Or how people find their way out of a life of crime or find hope. Sure not. But what this film mainly tries is telling me: if you want to be a good person, you have to believe what we believe. And that's just nonsense. Being a good person has nothing to do with religion and little with believe. Just like that you can show in a movie in the same way how damaging and diabolic it is to believe in god or Jesus or anything, because believers can create a lot of hatred, intolerance, ignorance, abuse, even war – by the way I never heard of nonbelievers starting a war over their non-believe. In fact, trying to force a certain believe on others, like the film does, that's already a sin. Jesus stands for tolerance. This movie is just propaganda for the contrary.

"If you were ever accused of being a Christian, would there be enough evidence to convict you?" For me, I hope so and I'd like to think so because if me living in a way that's pleasing to God is a crime, them I'm proud to plead guilty!OMG! This is a great movie! How had I missed seeing this? This movie is truly a testament of how we can overcome ANYTHING with the help of Christ! The characters are dealing with overcoming homelessness, PTSD, infertility, being a changed person despite being judged because of a prior incarceration, dying from leukemia yet still being happy and a light for others, alienation from family and suicidal thoughts, the death of a child and learning to not stay in a place of mourning but to live and help others, poverty and leaving a life of crime, trusting God's provision through tithing despite mounting financial debts, defending your faith in God to those who say He doesn't exist and being faithful to God and His principles despite being accused of pushing your beliefs onto others simply for sharing His Word and being threatened to choose God or your job. If you haven't seen this movie, please do! It's the best faith-based movie I've seen yet (better than Courageous, God's Not Dead and even War Room). It truly shows how you can love again, that miracles do exist and that we do NOT have to be the people we used to be or products of our circumstances and despite what we are going through, God is with us and will provide as long as we have faith and......BELIEVE! "Faith by itself, if it is not accompanied by action, is dead."- James 2:17"But I tell you, love your enemies and pray for those who persecute you." -Matt. 5:44

Loved this movie! The actors do a good job of portraying the characters. The script is very well thought through. I liked how the storyline unfolds, and how it is wrapped up. The action scenes are just enough without it being "over the top". Some clichés are unavoidable, but I feel they kept it to a minimum of what is necessary when you are giving a message that has been the same for 2000 years. The filming of Chicago and the bridge is very good. As a Christian it's great to feel the honor be directed where it belong. It is also such a relief to see a movie that don't leave a bitter aftertaste. One that just gives a desire to do good, for the right reason.
