My brother's wife had a sister held as a hostage in the school. So, the events personally affected me as I knew people who were involved. I want to bring up first, that I believe the miracles that happened and that there is a caring Heavenly Father watching over us. The message of prayer and angels are faith-promoting and wonderful. However, I found some elements a little confusing. I was a little confused at how Doris (the female kidnapper) would show doubt and maybe even disdain for her husband prior to the kidnapping but then go full in to do it. I also had a hard time with the main character's acceptance/non-acceptance of the miracles that occurred. Even with those two points confusing me, I felt the powerful message intended to by conveyed by this movie. I feel that the two short-comings I have described has made the movie good. I just feel that it could have been done a little different to make it great.
