MusicChat It's complicated... I really like the directing, acting and writing but, there are issues with the way it's shot that I just can't deny. As much as I love the storytelling and the fantastic performance but, there are also certain scenes that didn't need to exist.

Hayden Kane There is, somehow, an interesting story here, as well as some good acting. There are also some good scenes

Ezmae Chang This is a small, humorous movie in some ways, but it has a huge heart. What a nice experience.

Dana An old-fashioned movie made with new-fashioned finesse.

Thomas Bewick Not sure where the reviewer was coming from that said Michael's witnessing was in "codes and instructions" He uses a couple of very straight forward scriptures answering Rob's questions about being born again and prayer. No hidden meanings or agenda and definitely no codes. Furthermore Michael struggles with knowing all the answers or what to say to Rob so he does some research and comes up with those answers from the Bible, not only for Rob but ultimately for himself as he learns to share his faith. Actually I thought it was very convincing showing how Christians really do struggle with how to share their faith and yet he persists and does so in a great way. This is further developed by Michael rehearsing all his conversations with Rob to the young man in a coma. It shows how Michael really cares about Rob and is sincerely trying to help him as a friend. As far as impact, I first saw this in 1987 as a new Christian and I remember how it really did inspire me. I later became an RN and work in an ICU now and I feel that this movie had a direct impact on my later career direction. When you consider the time and low budget this film was made on it was very well done.

Marcin Kukuczka There were a number of movies between the 1970s and 1990s meant to spread lifestyle evangelism in accordance with the spirit that says: "The world needs witnesses far more than preachers." By referring to particular lives and focusing on the power of good example given to people, the producers aimed at spreading the Gospel by means of cinema. That aim is always fresh, always worth high appreciation. Yet, the question arises how they manage to achieve this goal. While some do pretty well resulting in valuable productions, some fail resulting in poorly executed movies. To the latter category, we can relate this movie made with no special effort, no clever script, no talented cast.It is a story of people who help others. Though the content seems simple and meaningful, it results in an unconvincing and barely genuine work. As for the tribute to the people whose everyday existence is filled with life flights, the film does a fine job: it shows us what their work is really like, what dangers they are exposed to, what aims accompany them. However, as for fluent action, continuity, scenes and performances, the film lames terribly. What happens, for instance, to the mother harmed with a gun by her little daughter? Is Eric really born again? We see him improving in health but do Michael's words leave some trace in his soul? C.J. Reynolds gets the upgrade he has been dreaming of for years but where? The clearest story is Rob's whose conscience directs him towards admitting the cheat about fish and finally brings him to good deeds. The symbolic final moment has the sense only when applied to Rob but the rest of characters remain chaotic, pale and totally undeveloped. The same lack of logic is found when we analyze particular moments of the movie. I don't think that anyone may get the right impression after seeing Lynda and C.J. battling with pillows, which is neither funny nor meaningful. The same can be said about many scenes with Michael. He spreads the Gospel but human is not a sort of machine that says what others tell him/her. It is, first of all, the example of life, of deeds that moves and powerfully affects other people. The way he tells Rob about the Bible as a collection of codes and instructions is absolutely naive, inaccurate and unconvincing. As for these moments, I also wondered what the director meant by showing us the little girl shooting at her mother... Later, we do not get any development of that plot.The performances are very weak. The cast here seem to act but no one is convincing enough to develop a character in a right and satisfactory way. This flawed art of performing makes the film hardly pleasant to watch. The only person who does an acceptable job is, in my opinion, Jim McMullan in the role of C.J. Reynolds. However, even this praise meets controversy. I encountered some critical views accusing McMullan of stealing people's attention more by nice looks than true talent.Therefore, there is not much to say about this movie. I believe that it's better to make one very good and clever film on Christian lifestyle than make a few that occur to be boring and meaningless. I watched the film expecting something ambitious but I encountered sheer disappointment. Although some script may be educational (for which I rate the movie 4/10), the whole film is, unfortunately, not entertaining at all. 4/10

JefferyDCombs Boy you can guess right away when this was done. The hair is dead give away. I was impressed with some of the locations and rescue vehicles used in this low budget film. There is a running joke with Christian films with use of helecopters (Judas Project, Deceived, Omega Code). Seriously though, there must have been some serious community involvement to pull this one off. When you add in the hospital, ambulances, and other emergency systems, it must of been quite a rush. I was afraid that they were going to let the radio be the one who actually proclaims that gospel for a moment there, but I was glad that they showed the power of lifestyle evangelism.
