Saving Paradise

I love a movie where the story is based on giving and overcoming difficulty and hardships. "Saving Paradise" is this kind of film. There's plenty of suspense movies out there and sure those films are fun. "Saving Paradise" reminds us of how powerful we are when we join together and set our sights on the greater good. The film is well directed, beautifully filmed and and has a wonderful score.

Highly recommend!

Not as predictable as some Hallmark movies but a lot more swearing than I expect from Hallmark. I enjoyed the fiesty warehouse workers who fight to save their factory.

6.2 stars.

This film requires much patience to get through it. Several of the performances are melodramatic and amateurish. I've seen a few of these actors in several movies, and they generally are proficient, but something about the script, and this two bit film comes across as B-rated and low quality. It's unfortunate, because the storyline has potential. But it's so crudely done it feels like so many films of this nature that are directed by someone who has no clue how to make a movie flow. The message is not communicated effectively. This is what happens when someone takes the reins of a movie without the proper guidance. There are so many recognizable actors I'm surprised it's so shoddily done.

I'll admit some parts were nice, but then the non-stop and blaring music was wearing me out. The music coordinator should have been replaced.

William Moseley and Johanna Braddy were terrific together. Lawrence Pressman as well. Really the entire cast was outstanding. The movie was motivational without being corny. It really connected with me. Special mention to James Eckhouse who played the perfect Kevin O'Leary style villain.

There is nothing extra ordinary about this movie. But not a boring one either to watch once.
