5.0 out of 5 stars The first Christian movie that could pass for a secular one., August 21, 2001

By

Mark Arndt (Belleville, Illinois USA) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Mercy Streets [DVD] (DVD)

This film blows The Omega Code out of the water. When watching Mercy Streets, for the first time ever with a Christian movie, I forgot I was watching a Christian movie. I judge movies harshly -- I am unforgiving of flaws, usually. This movie is virtually flawless. I had very few criticisms of it.

I'm still surprised that a Christian movie turned out to be so well-made! With The Omega Code, it was more like I was donating my time and money by watching it, though I didn't enjoy it. With Mercy Streets, I want to see it again!

4.0 out of 5 stars Most christian movies are really bad, except..., February 24, 2002

By

TooLoud66 (Houston, TX USA) - See all my reviews

This review is from: MERCY STREETS (DVD)

This is the best "Christian movie" I have ever seen. Most of the movies in this genre are cheap and unimaginative. I am a fan of movies like Reservoir Dogs and Snatch, and would have never thought a movie like this could have been made. This film has the feel of such films, yet has something to say about, not only life, but the after-life. The casting was very well done. I especially enjoyed the cameo by Stacy Keach. As a Christian independent filmmaker, I was elated to realize that a movie can be made especially gritty, yet have this kind of message behind it.

4.0 out of 5 stars Unexpectedly Entertaining, July 19, 2003

By

Morgan (New York) - See all my reviews

This review is from: MERCY STREETS (DVD)

While perusing the shelves at the video rental store, not in a mood to see the same films I've seen a dozen times before, I came across this diamond in the rough. Not knowing what exactly to expect, I took a chance and rented it. I must say that I was pleasently surprised. Although a Christian movie, it didn't feel like I was listening to a sermon/homily or even sitting in Sunday school. It is inviting, engaging, and thoughtful. If you ever crave an original film with a familiar storyline (criminals vs. law-abiding citizens - twins switch identities) but long for a bit of variety, definitly invest. I've since bought the movie myself.

I enjoyed the movie and it came in the mail quickly. It was a good and entertaining story about a man turning his life around.

4.0 out of 5 stars Those who are "good" are not ALL good and those who are "bad" are not ALL bad!
It's difficult to know where to go with reviewing this movie because it seems a bit like a "cross over" type movie made to take in a wider audience. Read more
