Rating:
The movie is a must see. Very well put together. The scenes are intense
and suspenseful. The movie kept me wondering what would be the outcome.
Based on a true story it had moments that I wondered, how can any good
come out of the tragedy in these persons lives, and then as the movie
continued the inspiration came forward as a glimmer of humanity that
gives light to redemption and hope. The lead actors were phenomenal. I
recommend parents take their teenage children (13 and up) to see this
movie and open up the discussion of the healing power of redemption in
any circumstance. Loved it! Loved it! Loved it! Don't let a review from
someone who has not seen it deceive you. This movie holds its own all
the way to the end. It alienates no one and speaks to everyone.
