Movie about faith and love displayed in a real world situation without being hokey. Also exposing big-pharma devious ambition. Movie although not biblically accurate, but biblically inspired.
Excellent...Well done movie...

This movie reminds me a lot of One Flew Over the Cuckoo's nest. Not as hard hitting or well made, but it has powerful messages without being preachy.
It is not a Christian vehicle for a salvation message, nothing like that.
It weaves an interesting tale while touching on over medication, administrative greed, as well as portrays that some medical staff cares about their patients.
Shows the imperfection of the human vessel and the frailty of the mind.
Its a good drama. I recommend it, but not for a date night or for younger kids. The subject matters shown and alluded to are for a mature audience.

How is this possible? How did no one look at the poster and ask themselves before saying "Print" that showing the ostensible Savior's enhanced bum was a horrible, horrible idea. The trailer, too, is abysmal. Do yourself a favor and skip this nonsense.
I thought this looked like it might be interesting and it could have been if it had better writers.
The problem is, you do not really see much of the John character and his miracles are few and not really that interesting.
Contrary to the other reviewers I think the acting is not that bad from the main characters but without anything to work with script-wise, it was all a bit of a damp squib to be honest and soon became a bit crusty and monochromatic so I cannot really recommend it and giving it 4 stars may be a bit generous!

I made an IMDB account so I could review this film. This is two hours of my life I won't get back. This is some badly produced religious propaganda. I appreciate that they filmed at Alberta Hospital though, that's fun.
You see one guy's butt a lot. Despite being an inpatient with access to resources and clothing, this guy only wears a bedsheet.
They also could have spoken to literally one person who works in health care to make any of this more realistic. Who voted to give this movie awards? Like if this was someone's university project I would be impressed.
My friend made me watch this movie because her dad acted in this for literally two seconds.
Also, we should have watched "Money Plane" instead. There's plenty of right wing religious propaganda out there that's better made.
