Synopsis

Henry Myers (Drew Walters) is living a hard life, surviving on the frontier any way he can – even if it means robbing a bank. After his latest heist backfires and his partners (Bea Smith and Rio Alexander) betray him and leave him for dead, Henry's life takes a surprising turn when he finds kindness and compassion from a widow (Erin Bethea) and her children (Jaden Roberts and Ezra Proch).

Brad Day This film accomplishes its mission - telling an efficient story about the power of forgiveness through God's Grace. We follow Henry Myers, a hardened outlaw, as he navigates an uplifting journey on a path toward redemption. His interaction with the widow and her children is timeless. This gives the story its soul. I found the dialogue refreshing even compelling at times. Henry fights to overcome the plaguing guilt that is crippling his spirit. I rooted for the characters. This is a family film that doesn't exhaust itself on overly complicated story arcs. It focuses on its central theme in a refreshing non-gratuitous manner. "The Redemption of Henry Myers", while not without some minor blemishes (the acting is inconsistent in a couple of sequences) is an entertaining film that I recommend.
mike-954-404827 This film is about redemption and God's grace. Unfortunately, it leaves something to be desired. I am a pastor and I am encouraged by the number of Christian films that are being released. I just wish that more of them would be better movies. This movie is not awful but it is not good, either. The acting is weak, the characters shallow and as predictable as the plot. It seems as if Henry is a bad guy, but a totally bad guy because he just wants to commit armed robbery but doesn't want anyone to get hurt. Someone does and Henry's nefarious cohorts take off without him. Henry accidentally kills the town parson and takes off but hides the money in the church before he does. Henry's partners come after him for their share and a lot bad shooting ensues. Henry is wounded and left for dead. He is found by a widow and her two children. They patch him up, not knowing who he is, and things are gong along pretty good. Until Henry sees a picture of the family and realizes that he killed the husband of the widow he has now fallen in love with. To top that off, the sheriff is the widow's former father-in-law. The bad guys find Henry, the sheriff and Henry, who is wounded again, save the day. They all live happily ever after because Henry s now a good guy. He probably marries the widow and becomes friends with the father or the man he killed. The movie is rife with over acting, bad dialogue, and a weak story. How many people are going to forgive the killer of husband and son and take them into their family? I believe in forgiveness. I know about God's grace, but I also know about human nature. This ending is a bit far fetched. There are better Christian films out there. Sorry, Sen. Santorum, your first film as a producer was not good.
eutawangel This movie, is truly empowering. Who doesn't love a great western-with a touching, and powerful message that allows for change, and forgiveness. This movie should inspire everyone to know... that no matter what despicable things we've done in our past, that we don't have to be a prisoner for our indiscretions. ***This is must see*** So gather your entire family, with your favorite snacks, and settle in with a box of Kleenex. If, this movie does not touch you in some way, then one may need to do some serious-self analyzing.It provided great acting, drama, action, and some funny scenes as well.. Here's a tip, if there is currently some sort of drama within yourself, or your household, watch this film, and see how your atmosphere will change from chaotic to calm.This is one for the archives. I will rate this movie a 12, and I have my own personal reasons for that score, but a 12 is truly under-rating this film. I loved it!!! So, enjoy, you will not be disappointed. Wonder Who...did not have to be a scary cat, this time.
raid517 Blatant Christian propaganda from start to finish. Awful. The movie is exactly what it says on the tin. Bad outlaw cowboy commits heinous crimes and is moved to guilt and self-reflection by the extent of his own criminal culpability. Meets up with stereotypical fatherless god fearing family who show him another and better way to live. Ugly outlaw undergoes a physical and spiritual transformation and through 'love' and the 'grace of God' he is both transformed and redeemed.It says a lot about modern American culture I guess that this movie has received a relatively warm reception in that country.I have nothing more to add. If you are a Mid-Western Christian fundamentalist you will love this movie. If you come from any other part of the world you will probably despise it for its blatant hypocrisy.
