A Brilliant Conflict

It's not great by any means, but it's a pretty good movie that didn't leave me filled with regret for investing time in it.

It's a mild crowd pleaser for people who are exhausted by blockbusters.

The thing I enjoyed most about the film is the fact that it doesn't shy away from being a super-sized-cliche;

The very title of the movie Saved by Grace brings up a lot of questions and leaves loads to the imagination of the audience as to what the film is going to be about. The film is the story of a retired cop who can't put his life together because he can't get over the tragic murder of his wife. There are many things that can be appreciated about this movie. For example the performance of the actress Catalina Rodriguez was so excellent that it added to the interesting premise behind the movie. In many of the other tragic movies and dramas that have been filmed in the past there are a lot of useless subplots included in those stories. However in Saved by Grace this is not the case, and that is another reason why this movie does so well. What made this movie so interesting for me was that it was so touching to see Grace being so down to earth and putting other people before herself. Most people out there are selfish today. And it also gives people the realization that recovering from a real life tragedy isn't an overnight process.

Saw s screening of this a couple of months ago. The movie overall is pretty good even though slow in the beginning. There are all kinds of movies out there dealing with the subject matter of tragedy, redemption, hope, and faith and it's the story that tells us what a movie is about. This movie is based on faith and hope and what could be wrong about that? No matter what your beliefs are regarding religion I feel even the people who don't watch these kind of movies should at least put on the blinders and just enjoy the movie for what it is. I can say I am not the biggest religious person however I loved this movie based on the way the story was told and the ride it took me on. The visuals were great and the score top shelf.Joey Lawrence gives the best performance of his career and Catalina Rodriguez was amazing with a great arc. She'll make you cry and laugh and her character will give you hope to get through any life situation. Although tragic at first, it's ends up being a wonderful little love story.If you like good, independent, well directed films, it's a must see.

Saved by Grace is a movie that takes people into the life of a man named Rick who is in a rather dark place after the death of his wife. During this time when Rick is about to do something he will surely regret a woman named Grace comes into the picture. There are many good things to be said about this movie like the fact that it gets a lot of points for originality. Most of the mainstream movies that people see these days are practically copies of ideas that have been used and recycled over and over again. The portion of the movie where the song called There You Are, is played serves as a type of theme song in this film. I may not be a musician but this song is probably on the list of the top ten I have ever heard. Johnny Remo certainly sets the bar for other filmmakers as Saved by Grace is one of those rare films that has a faith aspect and is also entertaining in the drama sense. This film is also great for families to watch because it would make them appreciate what they have, or it would help them relate if they lost someone in their life. With the natural talent that Catalina Rodriguez and Joey Lawrence have for acting they will be able to book many more fantastic films. This movie wouldn't be what it is without it's brilliant cast, and it's finest director Johnny Remo.

Saved by Grace is exceptional because it has some of the best acting, cinematography, and music ever seen in a faith based film. Joey Lawrence has his best performance in this movie. The movie gives us a glimpse into the life of Rick; a man who crossed into the path of atheism as a result of losing his wife to a criminal. One of the best techniques used in this movie is the flashbacks that go back into Rick's past. Rick was emotional and the pain of loss really showed through in his eyes. In order to avoid possible spoilers I will not further discuss this specific scene in the movie. However this scene shows the impact that shocking memories of witnessing the death of a loved one can have on us. The song track called There You Are, performed by Joey Lawrence has a real emotional depth to it. Co-star Catalina Rodriguez did excellent work as Grace. Saved by Grace is a movie that families would have no problems taking their children to see. It has almost no violence and is free of any explicit nude scenes that are featured in most of the films people see nowadays. The most important fact that the viewers can take from this film is that it's best not to judge anybody until you get to know them.
