The Redemption of Henry Myers (2014)

Absolutely Brilliant!

This is a small, humorous movie in some ways, but it has a huge heart. What a nice experience.

The acting in this movie is really good.

The movie's neither hopeful in contrived ways, nor hopeless in different contrived ways. Somehow it manages to be wonderful

This is a better than average Christian film. In my opinion, for a faith-based film, this is a very solid movie. I watched this film on Hallmark and I found it a very appropriate film for this channel. I thought that Erin Bethea and Drew Waters did a fabulous job; however, some of the other acting fell short. The scenery and backdrop was quite lovely and the music in the film was simply beautiful. I think the Director did an amazing job with keeping the movie on point with no drawn-out or pointless scenes.My only complaint was that I found the film to be a little too "preachy" at times. I just wish that the Christian film industry could find a way to bring a powerful message in a more subtle way. I'm not suggesting compromise, but, just finding a way to broaden their ability to reach a larger audience. If the target is solely a Christian audience, then I would say that they achieved their goal.Overall, I think this is a good option if you're looking for a faith-based film or entertainment for the entire family.

One would think after his hideous flop, The Christmas Candle, that Rick Santorum would just return to obscurity. But no! Now he is back with a movie so shockingly bad that it cant even be considered camp. There is zero production value. Zero storyline. Zero plot and zero appeal. If this thing can even be considered a movie then we are all doomed.These poor actors may have destroyed whatever D-list careers they were aspiring to by actually agreeing to star in this junk.If you are try to make Christian values the core if your film genre it may be wise to remember that ripping off paying customers is not one of them.

This 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.

This 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.
