Expertly edited by Corey Frost, beautifully shot by Al Francesco and superbly directed by Rory Karpf, Grace Point is both cerebral and suspenseful, with a surprise twist at the end reminiscent of David Fincher's The Game. The excellent ensemble cast features standout performances from John Owen Lowe and Jim Parrack, while Brat Pack alumnus Andrew McCarthy is an anchor portraying John Owen Lowe's father. Set in the rural south, Grace Point conjures some of the best elements of classic thrillers like Deliverance while maintaining a fresh approach and a plot that is both relatable and surprising.

I couldn't stop thinking about this film after I watched it. It is really suspenseful and a little disturbing. I don't want to give away too much about the plot but will say as twisted as the plot is, it is somehow believable. If you've ever known a friend or family member forced to go to rehab, the story will feel real to you. I felt the film was well cast and was well written. I noticed a couple of continuity issues but while I noticed them, they didn't take away from the story. If I were nitpicking that would be the only issue I could find with this film. This film is worth taking the time to give it a watch. See for yourself!

It's not too often that a film comes along and delivers not just gripping suspense and propulsive momentum, but also a genuinely surprising twist that keeps you on your toes. Grace Point does exactly that, crafting a story that is both engaging and emotionally resonant.

What truly sets Grace Point apart is its heart. The film carries a message that is not only uplifting and inspiring but also deeply relevant in today's world. It's a story about redemption, the power of second chances, and the importance of accepting help - even when it's the hardest thing to do. On top of that, it reminds us of the power of the human spirit and what's possible if we push ourselves beyond what we think we're capable of.

Seeing Andrew McCarthy back on screen was a welcome treat, bringing a seasoned presence to the film. The rest of the cast delivers solid performances, making their characters feel real and grounded. Rob Lowe's son, who takes on the lead role, does an impressive job portraying an addict struggling to come to terms with his reality. His performance is layered and convincing, capturing the inner conflict of someone who needs help but isn't quite ready to embrace it. He also brings a convincing physicality to the role as someone on the run who has clearly never been on the run or had to do this much physical stuff ever in his life.

Overall, Grace Point is a compelling watch. It blends suspense, drama, and a heartfelt message in a way that feels both entertaining and meaningful. I'd definitely recommend checking it out!
