Nice effects though.
A terrific literary drama and character piece that shows how the process of creating art can be seen differently by those doing it and those looking at it from the outside.
It's easily one of the freshest, sharpest and most enjoyable films of this year.
I enjoyed watching this film and would recommend other to give it a try , (as I am) but this movie, although enjoyable to watch due to the better than average acting fails to add anything new to its storyline that is all too familiar to these types of movies.
Honestly, I couldn't finish this one, so maybe I'm not the right reviewer to pay any attention to. It got way too preachy for me, so I shut it off with about a 1/2 hr left. If you liked the show "Touched By An Angel" you'll probably like this movie. I don't understand the other reviews gushing over it. Guess I never really liked this type of stuff with its heavy-handed God messages and clichés of "everything happens for a reason" or "all you need is faith.." It was all too fake for me, though I guess lots of people believe in all that. There's the flashbacks to life being idyllic before the tragedies, there's the patriotism, all that sickening stuff. Not my cup of tea at all.
In modern film history it can be hard to find good dramas of any value these days Saved by Grace happens to fall into this category. This is clearly more than just another Hollywood movie. The setting of the story takes place in a quiet suburb of the United States, with Joey Lawrence starring as Rick. Rick who is a cop is finding it impossible to get over his traumatic experience of witnessing the love of his life being murdered. The actor Joey Lawrence is a talented performer on screen and knows how to embody the character Rick and you can tell he feels the inner conflict going on inside of Rick. Everything is fine with the movie except that the character of Rick could've been better developed. His character should develop more gradually and in the movie the change was extremely drastic. In real life nobody can become a new man especially after going through a major loss like him. Part of what makes movies successful in entertainment is believability and this flaw in the film might diminish that a little.
The film opens with some beautiful driving shots that set the scene really well. Good acting quickly draws you into the story about a depressed man ready to kill him self but meets a woman who takes him on a life changing journey. The story is well written and not too predictable with some twists and an emotional ending. The editing was also very good with great pacing and some creative use of cutting between different sides of the "line" for the most emotional impact. The content is certainly good for the whole family and those looking for films that portray good values. In this case i think the film is actually better then the trailer. The musical score is well done and adds a lot to the whole feeling of the movie.
Saved by Grace is a movie marked by brilliance. The plot takes us on the journey of a retired police officer who lost all hope for a happy life. Throughout the first scenes of the movie he is seen considering the possibility of ending his life altogether. In the last minute an unknown woman shows up giving him a reason to live again. One of the most interesting characters of the entire film were the homeless. He is played by the actor Muse Watson, and despite the fact that he isn't given a specific name he is still a powerful presence in the movie. He gives Rick a valuable message to a man struggling with faith after the loss of his wife. This homeless man is old, unkempt, and unshaved and yet through Muse Watson's skilled acting he is turned into a character whose simple appearance speaks volumes. The better of the two actresses in this movie is Catalina Rodriguez because she is always focused, in character, and arguably the most complicated character of all. She acts out the part of the character named Grace, and while she appears to be happy-go-lucky and perfectly fine on the outside it turns out that she has tragedy in her past. This movie is so uplifting because it gives people hope no matter how tough life can be.
