Incredible movie worth watching even if you're not Christian or like faith-based movies.

I read somewhere that "Your heartache is someone else's hope. If you make it through, somebody else is going to make it through". That is what this movie means to me, personally. It's based on the true story of a person who suffers trauma, has a dream, fulfills their dream before their dream turns into a nightmare and they hit rock bottom. Only someone who has hit rock bottom will know what it's like and what the lead character is going through. Don't let the film's overt Christian themes stop you from watching this gem of a movie as I myself am not a Christian. The search for redemption is universal and can be appreciated by almost anyone. As one reviewer has already noted, it deals with heavy and difficult subjects, and so you must be in the mood and mentally prepared for such a movie. Criticisms can be directed at the quality of the acting especially from the actor who plays the wife and the training officer but the good far outweighs the bad. If you are in the mood for a serious movie then please give this a try.

An impressive drama

While not Citizen Kane and not without some faults, including a little melodrama, this was still an engaging and enjoyable story of redemption. Well acted, and I do enjoy seeing Dean Cane in whatever role he's in. The lead actor, Ignacyo Matynia did a fine job in his role of the conflicted police office struggling with the dark reality of his job and turning to substance abuse, then ultimately finding redemption. And, you know, I couldn't help but think he looks like a cross between Jensen Ackles and Adrien Brody. Also, reading his name makes me think, "Hallo, my name is Ignacyo Matynia, you killed my father..." etc.
