Break Every Chain

Break Every Chain is a brilliantly acted, inspiring film. However, I want to put out a warning: it's very sad. The premise of the film (which is a true story) is a police officer who receives a promotion. In the beginning he's on cloud nine, but he soon discovers his job entails going to the scenes of car crashes. This causes him to become depressed, and he starts drinking excessively. He and his wife also suffer an immense tragedy. The combination of burnout from his job, the loss he experiences in his personal life, and his alcoholism lead him spiraling into hopelessness. He finds himself angry at God. This movie might be hard to watch for some people. It started out on a positive note, but then one awful thing happens after another. I didn't watch to the end. It was late at night, and I figured this wasn't the best movie to be watching at nighttime. I like going to bed with happy thoughts. Honestly, I prefer Christian films over secular movies. Hollywood doesn't portray people's interactions realistically. Some people might not like Christian films because they're too real, in which case, I suggest watching when you're in the right head space. I hope I'm able to catch the end of it one day, preferably during an afternoon.

Wowww...This film was so intriguing and inspiring throughout! I definitely recommend for anyone struggling and has struggled with addiction, like myself, to let them know that there Is Hope in Jesus and Healing Is possible!! Heartbreaking? For sure, at times. Raw and honest? Absolutely. But still definitely worth the watch in my book! Loved this movie and the messages portrayed here! 9/10.

This film grabs your attention from the first scene and holds it through to the end. The cinematography is breathtaking. The performances are stellar and emotional. You really feel what Officer Hickory and his family went through. If you, or someone you know, are struggling/have struggled with addiction, depression, trauma, or suicidal thoughts PLEASE watch this movie! There is hope and light at the end of the dark tunnel!!

Just finished watching and didn't realize how much I needed this movie until now. Really shows hope and during this crazy world turned upside down. I sure hope filmmakers make more movies like this.

The world needs far MORE stories like this one. This film is absolutely powerful, moving and full of heart & FAITH, something that is sorely lacking in American culture.

See it ~~~ you'll love it!
