After reading the main review displayed on the page, one which was of little to no help, I decided to write my first review for IMDb to help viewers with the movie.
This movie is based on the book by the same name, written by William Paul Young.
I really do empathize with people trying to write about, or depict, God in human form and understanding, for we know human thoughts and rationale's are unlike God's thoughts.
The movie has very good acting, especially with a seasoned actor like Sam Worthington. Sam (Mack in the movie), plays a role which anyone who has the capacity to love others, can relate to.
Sam is required to draw us into his character, his thoughts, his emotions, which once understood, can be easily related to. His emotions are raw human emotions, his rationale and logic, basic human instinct and understanding.
As the story unfolded, I could understand exactly his position and related to his motives and plight.
This movie isn't really about God, the Holy Bible is the most published book in the world and readily available to anyone who wants to know Him, the movie is about loss, pain, guilt and healing, extremely strong emotions that anyone who has lived a full life will understand and relate to.
The story is of course fictional but has the capacity to challenge anyone with the big tough questions of life and painful circumstances dished up from it at times.
It's worth the watch.
