It's fun, it's light, [but] it has a hard time when its tries to get heavy.

The best films of this genre always show a path and provide a takeaway for being a better person.

It’s not bad or unwatchable but despite the amplitude of the spectacle, the end result is underwhelming.

A great movie, one of the best of this year. There was a bit of confusion at one point in the plot, but nothing serious.

I saw the spoiler review from a guy in India and just had to take the time to counter his slam. Please don't miss this movie! Made by the Billy Graham ministry for a good and moral message; this movie is still one of my favorites. Just full of funny parts that will keep you in stitches. Yes, it's a made for entertainment flick, not a documentary. It is certainly a great time as Amanda's goof-ball boyfriend messes up time and time again with bad decisions, and gets a mobster after them both. The strongmen working for the mobster are such a kick. In the end it is a strong message that the whole family will be happy with. Christian or not, you need to watch this movie!

Here I am to tell you my opinions on "Road to Redemption". Of all the Christian movies I've seen ("Left Behind", "The Climb" and "The Ride") this is the best one. No one dies and there is no tacky "flash back" that seem to ALWAYS be in Christian movies (*ahem* take note of that please "Climb" and "Ride" script writers) It was a fairly amusing movie not all drama and Billy Grahmn (sp) was BARELY in it! Its a good start for Christian movies, hopefully its the "Keith Green" of Christian movies! =) (By the way: a teacher @ my school always claimed some guy named Keith Green was one of the first Christian singers or something.)

I stumbled across this gem while late night channel surfing, entering at the scene where Amanda and Nathan take the "detour" which lands them behind a pigeon truck. I'll admit what caught my eye was Julie Condra's beauty, but the story was intriguing because I knew neither how it started nor that it was a Christian film. The bad guys were caricatures, her boyfriend was pathetic, and the medical details poorly researched (hey, I'm a doc - I notice these things!), but it was fun, engaging, and mostly well acted and well written, with a message that did not feel forced or contrived, and with what felt like a natural relationship evolution between Nathan and Amanda through the film.Perhaps the best evidence that this is a film worth watching: after it ended, I channel surfed a bit more, and came across a Girls Gone Wild adfomercial and VH1 music video. The contrast between the peaceful spirituality of the final scene in R to R and the raucous tawdriness of GGW and VH1 was stunning. I prefer the former. Much more.

"Road to Redemption," starring Pat Hingle, Wes Studi and Jay Underwood, is an above average Christian film. When compared to disgraces such as "Left Behind," this film looks like a masterpiece!3/5 stars -- a bit emotionally manipulating at times, but still a clean family Christian film.John Ulmer
