... View MoreThis film accomplishes its mission - telling an efficient story about the power of forgiveness through God's Grace. We follow Henry Myers, a hardened outlaw, as he navigates an uplifting journey on a path toward redemption. His interaction with the widow and her children is timeless. This gives the story its soul. I found the dialogue refreshing even compelling at times. Henry fights to overcome the plaguing guilt that is crippling his spirit. I rooted for the characters. This is a family film that doesn't exhaust itself on overly complicated story arcs. It focuses on its central theme in a refreshing non-gratuitous manner. "The Redemption of Henry Myers", while not without some minor blemishes (the acting is inconsistent in a couple of sequences) is an entertaining film that I recommend.
... View MoreWesterns have faded somewhat in popularity in recent years, but I think when done well, they can really shine. The Redemption of Henry Myers is one such example of how it should be done.Is it possible for men to change? To find hope after falling so far? That's what the movie explores, providing a very enjoyable movie experience. The sets look great, and the story keeps up a steady pace. Both Drew Waters and Erin Bethea rise to the occasion and turn in solid, heart-moving performances. I love the twists and turns the movie takes and it gives a very satisfying ending. I also appreciate the way that the violence was handled. Modern-day Westerns can quickly spiral out of control, but director Clayton Miller exercises wise restraint in what is shown and not shown.Well done Echolight! Please continue to make great movies that families can enjoy together!
... View MoreThis film is about redemption and God's grace. Unfortunately, it leaves something to be desired. I am a pastor and I am encouraged by the number of Christian films that are being released. I just wish that more of them would be better movies. This movie is not awful but it is not good, either. The acting is weak, the characters shallow and as predictable as the plot. It seems as if Henry is a bad guy, but a totally bad guy because he just wants to commit armed robbery but doesn't want anyone to get hurt. Someone does and Henry's nefarious cohorts take off without him. Henry accidentally kills the town parson and takes off but hides the money in the church before he does. Henry's partners come after him for their share and a lot bad shooting ensues. Henry is wounded and left for dead. He is found by a widow and her two children. They patch him up, not knowing who he is, and things are gong along pretty good. Until Henry sees a picture of the family and realizes that he killed the husband of the widow he has now fallen in love with. To top that off, the sheriff is the widow's former father-in-law. The bad guys find Henry, the sheriff and Henry, who is wounded again, save the day. They all live happily ever after because Henry s now a good guy. He probably marries the widow and becomes friends with the father or the man he killed. The movie is rife with over acting, bad dialogue, and a weak story. How many people are going to forgive the killer of husband and son and take them into their family? I believe in forgiveness. I know about God's grace, but I also know about human nature. This ending is a bit far fetched. There are better Christian films out there. Sorry, Sen. Santorum, your first film as a producer was not good.
... View MoreThis movie, is truly empowering. Who doesn't love a great western-with a touching, and powerful message that allows for change, and forgiveness. This movie should inspire everyone to know... that no matter what despicable things we've done in our past, that we don't have to be a prisoner for our indiscretions. ***This is must see*** So gather your entire family, with your favorite snacks, and settle in with a box of Kleenex. If, this movie does not touch you in some way, then one may need to do some serious-self analyzing.It provided great acting, drama, action, and some funny scenes as well.. Here's a tip, if there is currently some sort of drama within yourself, or your household, watch this film, and see how your atmosphere will change from chaotic to calm.This is one for the archives. I will rate this movie a 12, and I have my own personal reasons for that score, but a 12 is truly under-rating this film. I loved it!!! So, enjoy, you will not be disappointed. Wonder Who...did not have to be a scary cat, this time.
