The performances transcend the film's tropes, grounding it in characters that feel more complete than this subgenre often produces.
This story has more twists and turns than a second-rate soap opera.
There is, somehow, an interesting story here, as well as some good acting. There are also some good scenes
Movies like Saved by Grace have a lot to offer in terms of entertainment value and relevance to recent times. The life of an officer or any member of the military for that matter can be incredibly tough and dangerous. This movie reflects the imperfect period in which we live. Unlike most mainstream drama films that portray Christians Rick, who was played by Joey Lawrence is a character in the film that a lot of people can relate to in the modern world. Rick has problems with every aspect of his life, and believes that there is no purpose for him. Lawrence's performance as Rick was astonishing because he was able to channel that negative energy that Rick was feeling inside after experiencing the loss of his spouse, and the relationship with his son Luke collapsing. The only downside would be the fact that there are no loud explosions, surround sound, or even stunts. This kind of technology is rarely if ever used in drama films especially ones like this movie. Even though there are occasional problems the movie successfully provides us with an emotional roller-coaster ride using the brief action sequences between Rick and a drug dealer in his flashbacks.
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 movie known as Saved by Grace is a movie that has been produced and filmed and the results have been very successful. One of the best things about this film is that it highlights the reality that going through a tragedy is definitely not something of an easy process. The situation is clear from the beginning that Rick who is the lead character here is about to seriously hurt himself with a decision one can never take back. Those plans go wrong however when he is taken by surprise at the arrival, of a young woman named Grace who says she needs a ride home to spend Thanksgiving Day with her family. While Rick drives Grace home she goes on a memory lane and tells him her life's story, which leads to shocking revelations about Rick's own life that he can relate to. This film was successfully produced through the precise use and control of camera, music, and lifelike dialogue. In terms of cinematography the depth of field and focus was good. Therefore this movie is highly recommended to families as well as people of all ages. Our society needs more movies with positive messages of hope for the future especially because of the hard times that we live in.
Saw s screening of this a couple of months ago. The movie overall is pretty good even though slow in the beginning. There are all kinds of movies out there dealing with the subject matter of tragedy, redemption, hope, and faith and it's the story that tells us what a movie is about. This movie is based on faith and hope and what could be wrong about that? No matter what your beliefs are regarding religion I feel even the people who don't watch these kind of movies should at least put on the blinders and just enjoy the movie for what it is. I can say I am not the biggest religious person however I loved this movie based on the way the story was told and the ride it took me on. The visuals were great and the score top shelf.Joey Lawrence gives the best performance of his career and Catalina Rodriguez was amazing with a great arc. She'll make you cry and laugh and her character will give you hope to get through any life situation. Although tragic at first, it's ends up being a wonderful little love story.If you like good, independent, well directed films, it's a must see.
