I wanted to give this five stars as a Christian myself I was hopeful that this movie would be good.
It is a good message but it is so slow. I mean slow, like 2001 space odyssey slow. So many long periods of nothing happening and mournful piano music. The music is pretty though. Joey Lawrence is usually a good actor but he was so sullen in this movie and as he said in his podcast he hasn't actually experienced what Scott has. So I am figuring that he didn't understand drug addicts all to well. He just should have maybe watched a few addicts and interviewed some actual prisoners maybe. Also there were songs sung throughout the movie and I don't know why Joey couldn't have sung. They didn't utilize his musical talent like they could have. It just could have been a better movie with a better director and editor I am sure. I bet Joey could have even done better with better direction.
