Vergebung

A refreshing movie on the TRUTH, the Way and the Life! A very life changing message for people to listen too. I was surprised that it was in a movie on a movie network.

There are several types of people that will watch a Christian movie like "Forgiven", a person like me that enjoys all types and genres of movies, but also is compelled to watch Christian movies and explore things like redemption and faith. These movies, tell stories in a modern and every day setting and relate to my heart and soul, and help to reinforce my belief in God. The second type of person that would enjoy this movie is someone that is interested in Faith, the principles of the Bible, and the words of Jesus, and explore them in a motion picture presentation. This is very important as an move it like this can deliver a powerful message in an entertaining way. The third type of person, is usually a non-believer, looking for reasons, and ways to scoff at faith, religion & the unseen miracles of God that they don't understand. They will criticize production design, acting, and even costumes, and make up in an effort to tear these types of movies down. What they're really saying is that they are uncomfortable, giving their heart to a story of faith. This movie expertly shows the transformation of exactly this type of person. I hope that everyone that sees this film can see the transformation that can take place in any type of person. It is the textbook definition of. "Forgiven".

Let's start out by stating the obvious: it has Kevin Sorbo, so you KNOW it's going to be B movie grade acting, he hasn't acted good since Hercules (and even that was horrible). Plus it's a low budget religious film... so getting decent actors isnt on their list... all they care about is shoving their fairytale garbage down your throat.

As for the message: I'm sure the gullible brainwashed low IQ religious kooks will salivate over it saying "how moving" and "inspirational" it was 🙄. The movie blasts you with religious blather and incoherent rationale that is typical of right wing religious extremist thinking.

Seriously, if you're into the b movie right wing religious extremist movie, or you're just looking to turn your brain off for a bit... then this movie is for you. If you're looking for a riveting, edge of your seat masterpiece then put this back in the $1 bin you picked it out of.

A clear presentation of how anyone, no matter what they've done, can receive forgiveness from God. The characters of the pastor and his two daughters were excellent in their corresponding roles. Like any hostage situation, there was a lot of tension and uncertainty which was conveyed well in the film.

Jenn Gotzon delivered an emotionally riveting performance as Elizabeth.

Kevin Sorbo (Lieutenant Morgan) and Reegus Flenory (Officer Mike Rose) played their supporting roles well as law enforcement officers.

Casey Fuller portrayed a conflicted man haunted by his life choices.

Although there is always room for improvements in any film (even the big budget ones) overall this was a movie that I would certainly recommend.

As a born again Christian believer, I have seen miraculous changes in the lives of those who have repented of (been sorry for) their sins and accepted the free gift of salvation from the sacrificial death, burial and resurrection of the Son of God, Jesus Christ.

I really feel sorry for all those who make fun of the message in this movie. It is possible for a person's life to completely change if they will turn their soul and mind over to God. Please watch and listen with an open heart and let God's Spirit speak to you.

It is a blessing to find family friendly movies with the message that God loves those who are watching and HE has made the Way for all who will repent to come to HIM, through faith in Jesus. So many may never hear any other way. Thank you to Kevin Sorbo for making this movie.
