ex Police officer feeling sorry for himself totally absorbed with his own pain forgetting he has a son. Decides he cant live without his wife any longer and i expect he feels guilty too as in part he feels it is his fault she died. Cue Angels ............ nope. No angels (or were they)..... was the homeless man an angel? You are kind of kept guessing also as to the fact perhaps also is Grace an Angel come to save him from himself? NOPE this is not Highway to Heaven.This is why i liked the film so much. Such a twist they actually BOTH saved each other. Grace said "everything happens for a reason............ i believe that too. She was going to be with her family on Thanksgiving and needed a lift, and Rick was going to be with his wife on Thanksgiving day.......... that chance meeting on the highway joined these two together and they both ended up healing each other. I really enjoyed it whilst we may be going through huge stuff in our own lives we forget others can be hurting way more and we must never forget just because we loose one member of our family there are not others who also need us too and that other people are dealing with worse stuff then us. It is worth a watch, and to those who stopped watching part way in, watch it again, it is not a preachy Christian movie at all.....yes it talks about God, but the end might just shock you. I cried several times i am not ashamed to say that. A sweet movie one for the family to watch.

Saved by Grace is a movie that takes people into the life of a man named Rick who is in a rather dark place after the death of his wife. During this time when Rick is about to do something he will surely regret a woman named Grace comes into the picture. There are many good things to be said about this movie like the fact that it gets a lot of points for originality. Most of the mainstream movies that people see these days are practically copies of ideas that have been used and recycled over and over again. The portion of the movie where the song called There You Are, is played serves as a type of theme song in this film. I may not be a musician but this song is probably on the list of the top ten I have ever heard. Johnny Remo certainly sets the bar for other filmmakers as Saved by Grace is one of those rare films that has a faith aspect and is also entertaining in the drama sense. This film is also great for families to watch because it would make them appreciate what they have, or it would help them relate if they lost someone in their life. With the natural talent that Catalina Rodriguez and Joey Lawrence have for acting they will be able to book many more fantastic films. This movie wouldn't be what it is without it's brilliant cast, and it's finest director Johnny Remo.

The film opens with some beautiful driving shots that set the scene really well. Good acting quickly draws you into the story about a depressed man ready to kill him self but meets a woman who takes him on a life changing journey. The story is well written and not too predictable with some twists and an emotional ending. The editing was also very good with great pacing and some creative use of cutting between different sides of the "line" for the most emotional impact. The content is certainly good for the whole family and those looking for films that portray good values. In this case i think the film is actually better then the trailer. The musical score is well done and adds a lot to the whole feeling of the movie.

Saved by Grace is a movie marked by brilliance. The plot takes us on the journey of a retired police officer who lost all hope for a happy life. Throughout the first scenes of the movie he is seen considering the possibility of ending his life altogether. In the last minute an unknown woman shows up giving him a reason to live again. One of the most interesting characters of the entire film were the homeless. He is played by the actor Muse Watson, and despite the fact that he isn't given a specific name he is still a powerful presence in the movie. He gives Rick a valuable message to a man struggling with faith after the loss of his wife. This homeless man is old, unkempt, and unshaved and yet through Muse Watson's skilled acting he is turned into a character whose simple appearance speaks volumes. The better of the two actresses in this movie is Catalina Rodriguez because she is always focused, in character, and arguably the most complicated character of all. She acts out the part of the character named Grace, and while she appears to be happy-go-lucky and perfectly fine on the outside it turns out that she has tragedy in her past. This movie is so uplifting because it gives people hope no matter how tough life can be.
