tavm Review of The Grace Card

The Grace Card (2010)

The Grace Card was a quite effective Christian drama

[7/10 · 6 April 2011]

Because there was only one showing in the afternoon, having had several last week when I was a bit busy during that time, me and my movie theatre-working friend chose to watch it then when we both had this day off. While my friend was crying throughout, I managed to start to be touched when that wife of that cop slapped him because of his accidental shooting of their teenage son but I'm getting ahead of myself here. This Christian-themed movie about the dealings of long-ago tragedy, some racism, and the idea of forgiveness despite some people that caused those tragedies was for the most part well made even though I managed to predict what would happen before they did. Still, this was quite touching and made pertinent points about how hard some feelings are to let go. One other thing I'd like to mention is that Oscar-winner Louis Gossett, Jr.-in his brief role-still can steal a scene even during his quietest moments like here. So on that note, The Grace Card was pretty good as a message drama.
