I must admit the first time I watched this movie, I did really like it but I watched it again tonight, after 2 years, and I have to say that, this time, I appreciated it very much, It touched me deeply.
This is not an action Movie, it's more than this, but you have to be willing to catch the message, which is powerful. This is about faith, love and friendship. Is he going to give up, the guy survived the unimaginable, nobody under any "normal" circumstances survives any thing like that, who helped him, 90 minutes gone, declared and confirmed dead by the police and the rescue team, but then one men, a pastor, insisted to pray for "the gone", please don't put this movie in a drawer, there is so much more than entertainment here and worth to think about, the men survived to leave us a testimony, greater than anything, watch carefully
I saw it for Hayden Christensen. I discovered a profound beautiful film , religious, no doubt, but more significant for a larger public, for simple - precise- fair translation of a terrible experience, for questions animating part of us, for decent acting and for a story about life purpose , about the others being near us, about good intentions and great battles , about self acceptance and escape from selfishness forms.
So, strange and unfair to be too critic about it.
It offers a story who, at first sight, is too personal for work in other existences. But, this is only at the first sight.
On a bridge, in January 1989, a baptist pastor is victim of a car accident.
Grace to pray of other pastor, and not only, he comes back to life. The steps to a form of cure are painful , not only for him, not only physical. But he is not alone, his beloved family is not alone.
I do not know better manner to say, in a film, this kind of story. So, I see it as a correct film. And this is , for me, the only matter thing.

I will never understand what people expect from movies. When this beautiful film is made to touch anyone that has a heart and soul .Just perfect acting .Had me in tears .No I'm not a church goer or a bible basher .Just believe in good and my experience of life tells me that this message is good for us all .Keep the faith as God does indeed answer your prayers .. And watch this film, to the end with an open mind .
I have seen suffering like this and have been in the wife's shoes and this is very real. You have to understand the pastor's experience in heaven made his recovery more difficult (that might be a spoiler). His suffering was hard to watch but it was realistic. The spiritual struggle, financial trouble, and family trauma is just how it is. A near death experience, even without seeing heaven, makes you wish you had gone all the way, just to escape the suffering here and the suffering of dying again. It is honest and if you want to be prepared for tragedy here and heaven afterwards, it is worth the slow torture of watching this. It is better than doing yourself. The legal problems were also so true to life. Watch and learn and you might not have to live it. The last half hour is worth and since I see honesty throughout this film, I believe that is also likely the truth.

- TriviaThe film is based on the real life story of Don Piper, who, driving home from a ministers' conference in 1989, crashed into a semi-truck which had crossed into his lane. Presumed dead, Piper lay on a bed covered with a tarp. A passing minister, who had also been at the conference, came to pray over Piper's body and sing to him, with Piper soon joining in. His arm had been severed and his leg was barely attached to his body, forcing Piper to endure a long and brutal recovery, which included being bed-bound for thirteen months. Piper claims to have seen Heaven while he was unconscious and believes he was on his way there before being pulled back to Earth. Piper has said he was infuriated with God, as his injuries meant he had to endure incredible pain before eventually regaining his mobility. After suffering in silence, he wrote the book up on which this film is based and became an accomplished public speaker. His account of the accident, and his life since, sold seven million copies and has been translated into 46 different languages.
