Okay, I'll admit it. I walked into the screening of To Save A Life fully prepared not to like it. I was braced for a weak story, bad plot, unconvincing acting, and the worst…a forced and contrived Christian message. Haven't we all been there before?
But I was surprised.
Midway through the film I was impressed by the quality of acting and I found that I was being drawn in by the powerful and true-to-life story. I didn't have one of those "oh no…here we go" moments when one of the actors pulls out a Gospel tract and starts witnessing to someone. This was much more real. Much more true. This film was doing a much better job of representing the messiness of life and the reality of grace available to us all.
By the end of the film I was convinced. This is a top-notch project with a compelling message. It's a great film for Christians to take their non-Christian friends to. It's a great discussion starter for youth pastors and parents. It deals with real life issues head on and doesn't pull any punches. Go see To Save A Life. You won't be disappointed. If you are in the Colorado Springs area, there is another pre-release screening scheduled for October 15. Sign up now to save a seat.
