Blending excellent reporting and strong storytelling, this is a disturbing film truly stranger than fiction

At first rather annoying in its heavy emphasis on reenactments, this movie ultimately proves fascinating, simply because the complicated, highly dramatic tale it tells still almost defies belief.

While it doesn't offer any answers, it both thrills and makes you think.

The story, direction, characters, and writing/dialogue is akin to taking a tranquilizer shot to the neck, but everything else was so well done.

HEAVEN'S HEROES is another of the 'Godsploitation' flicks made by director Donald W. Thompson; this one's apparently based on a true story. The Christian propaganda isn't as pronounced as in some other films by Thompson, and the story about cops struggling with their faith in a violent world is quite well achieved; there are some surprisingly gritty interludes, like the cop getting shot through the eye and the hit and run case. This film is certainly no classic, but those of the Christian persuasion are sure to enjoy it.

I have not only seen the movie, I attended the funeral of officer Hill. This is a wonderful movie about faith in the face of death. It is my understanding this film has been used over the years as a training film for new officers. This story happened in Des Moines, IA. He and his wife attended the same church we went to and we are still in touch with Cindy and her father Buck.Both Cindy and Buck stand on and live their life for their Lord an Savior Jesus Christ and are a true testimony of faith in action, or walking the walk and not talking the talk.Highly highly recommend it
