King's Faith

A far more realistic but positive view of religion is presented here in King's Faith. It's the story of young Brendan King played by Crawford Wilson who is a young man newly released from juvenile prison where he was saved. Wilson is taken in by James McDaniel late of NYPD Blue and his wife Lynn Whitfield who lost their son who was a police officer presumably for the Rochester, NY PD. The film was shot in and around Rochester and one of its more conservative suburbs of Greece.

Not believing that Wilson has reformed is detective Christopher Jon Martin. And aiding and abetting that view is Brandon Correa who was one of Wilson's gang running buddies back in the day. Correa has his own reasons for wanting Wilson back in the old life.

In the end Wilson does find he has the character to withstand temptation though he goes through some nasty trials.

King's Faith is a Christian film that lays off the heavy duty preaching and is placed in a realistic setting. The ensemble cast is good and sincere. I'd recommend it for more than church audiences although it is flawed in one respect. No way did Crawford Wilson do any decent amount of time and still be of an age to go back into high school and graduate.

I feel that this is the best movie I have come across this year. With so many movie's with fictional character's were is the hope that we don't have to live in the land of make believe that real problems and situation's can be address with hope and solution's. This movie has a strong message it will definitely plant a seed for change in this world of corruption and disaster. It empowers you to be able to make a positive choice between right and wrong. We finally know that we have choices and we have the power to exercise those choices no matter how the cards stack up against us. No this movie didn't make 195million dollars out the gate, but as we know money isn't everything. This movie is priceless for what it has to offer our children and our community. It empowers our youth to make better choices and no matter how hard life seems , it can get better with time and with God.

I really enjoyed this movie. It touches the heart with a great message of about keeping your faith. Eighteen year old Brendan King finds a relationship with God while serving time after the police arrested him in a drug raid. While inside prison he is given a Bible and through it he discovers that the life he was leading on the outside was all wrong. It shows him a path to a new life. Upon his release, he is given one more chance with a new foster family. But keeping his faith once he regains his freedom is a challenge as new opportunities, new friends, and a new future clash directly with old temptations, old friends and a past that he can't seem to escape. Wonderfully acted, very inspirational, with real life situations. This movie is not just for believers. I would highly recommend everyone, from young to old, to watch this film. It'll make you think about your choices and leave you with a powerful message of hope. A must for teens and youth groups.

I thought it had a great story line and would appeal to a wide audience of all different ages and backgrounds. It is relevant to today's issues, well-written, cinematography was strong, musical score was well done and the acting was definitely stronger in the more seasoned actors and the lead Brendan. I especially enjoyed the acting of Brendan's former gang member and friend, Rish, very commanding! Good story with an equally powerful message, God is present and with us whenever we need him; all we need to do is ask. It is a good film for parents to take their children to with an opportunity to open the discussions around some sensitive issues in today's society. It also allows parents a chance to talk about their own faith and the role god has played in their lives when they have faced adversity and double. Some scenes could be scary for smaller children so parent discretion is advised. Well worth your time and money.

I love this movie. I thought it sent a good message to the audience how just because you made a mistake once, doesn't mean you have to continue making mistakes the rest of your life. I think all families should see this. I am not giving this move an 8 just because I helped with it, I truly think it deserves an 8 rating. This movie touched me inside like no other just due to the emotions the characters showed. I won't say much more so not to spoil it for anyone who hasn't seen it. I would definitely suggest all see it. The actors did awesome in a short time that they had to learn their lines, and get it recorded. This film was a success due to hard working dedicated volunteers that helped behind the scenes. This film could not have done it with out the outside help. I never knew how much went into a movie till I helped with this on.
