5.0 out of 5 starsFantastic Movie!!!
By Chris Pereira on June 7, 2011
Format: DVD
This is one of the best movies I've ever seen. I did not see any theological flaws in the movie and I thought it was original, modern and a well thought out set of arguments for choosing Christ. It systematically deals with all the major objections as to why people do not believe in Christ. A truly personal and life changing movie and one to watch when life gets you down. I also like how they showed the one man who refused to come to Christ no matter how much Jesus tried to convince him it was in his best interest. That clearly showed both sides of the story in great detail and brought clarity to the entire movie. Introducing this also dispelled the gnostic theory that eventually all people are saved which is not theologically correct. Hec, most people get 80 plus years to make their decision, I think that's enough time.

5.0 out of 5 starsAn excellent (and 99% complete) answer to most questions that opponents to Christianity pose
By Catcollectorjoe a.k.a. Mediawingnuts.blogspot on July 11, 2011
Format: DVD Verified Purchase
Admittedly, I give five stars to almost a third of the movies I review. Part of the reason is that I seldom review a movie (or book) that I don't see as stellar. But this movie--seen for the first time at about Midnight on Trinity Broadcasting--answered questions that even I (as a believer) harbored deep in my conscious and subconscious thoughts about Christianity. It seem to know exactly what question was still left unanswered at the point that the particular question was raised by one or another of the "doubting Thomases" temporarily taking refuge in a roadside diner whose manager/cook/waiter/whatever was Jesus Christ.

It left no doubt about the identity of the Diner's waiter. The Jesus-character pulled no punches from the moment He greeted the stranded customers in from out of a serious storm. Without pretending to be anything but a fictional story of Jesus' encounter with six persons, each needing His guidance and support, the story unfolded into an excellent and compelling interraction between the customers and their Maker.

It was (as best I could tell) Scripturally accurate and even allowed for the fact that Jesus idn't/doesn't force anyone to accept Him ... even if they believed every word He uttered.

It made me think--deeper than I had thought about some of my own questions ... ever!

I will give this to a couple of my relatives

5.0 out of 5 starsCreative way to introduce Truth
By NWL on May 23, 2011
Format: DVD Verified Purchase
This movie does not beat around the bush: in very short order, the viewer is introduced to a present-day Jesus. He is The Way, The Truth, and The LIfe----and this movie clearly depicts Him as such in a non-threatening and modern venue. Bruce Marchiano is perfect in the role as Christ (as he was in "Matthew") because he clearly understands the reality of redemption through faith in Jesus. His unwavering belief and discipleship shine through in this most recent vehicle. This is a movie for everyone, including children. Never too early to fall in love with Jesus!!------Nancy

5.0 out of 5 starsVery Motivational Film!
By Beth Smith on July 28, 2011
Format: DVD Verified Purchase
I originally bought this movie because I have been a fan of Steve "Sting" Borden for a long time. I found it just browsing. Since I myself am a Christian, I thought it sounded very interesting. My son was recently baptized into our church, as well so I thought this would be a good film for us to watch together (along with his friend) to escape the heat of the afternoon and then have a family discussion about it.

It is spot on...and is an interesting take on how come God sometimes does what He does. The film delves into why sometimes God allows negative things to happen to good people. It's very thought provoking. It was interesting how Sting's character ALMOST cracked...but I believe this is a very accurate depiction of how it would happen too. It's also a great illustration of how Christ still loves the sinner but hates the sin and gets people back on the right track, if they have faith and just listen.

This is one movie we will more than likely be watching over and over again. It is one I will also be recommending to all my friends at church and elsewhere. I think it's a message that people really need, in a time and world where things just aren't all that good anymore.

5.0 out of 5 starsBlessed
By br20042003 on September 18, 2011
Format: DVD
I watched this movie on Netflix. When I read the description I thought that it was going to be like all the other Christian movies but this one was different it was for me. This movie used everyday people in different situations to show that God was there all along. If you have ever questioned God and his plan for your life this is the movie to see. It focused on the WORD but in ways that even children could understand that God sees and knows all. He would never leave you or forsake you. It reconfirmed why it is that I serve such a true and loving God. For anyone that is questioning their faith and whether or not God knows what your going through I would advise you to watch this movie. It is a true testament of how HE works.

3.0 out of 5 starsSurprisingly Watchable
By Scifi Saver on October 5, 2011
Format: DVD
This was one of those films that was recommended. I took a chance and pleasantly surprised. First, it is a low budget, Christian indy film so set your sites low concerning acting, directing, script, and production values. If you can get past that, you will enjoy the film. It's positive message is uplifting, even for non-Christians, though most will find the message delivered in a heavy handed way. The best surprise is Bruce Marchiano, the actor who portrayed Jesus, though Steve Borden (better known as WCW wrestler Sting) wasn't too bad. I might even check out another film with Bruce Marchiano.
