A religious film. A Christian one. Nice, useful, touching, moving. Like many others. This is the first impression. And it is right and fair. But the film gives more than a moral lesson. Or a preach. It is a film about sufferance - a profound one - and about family. It is a film about the meanings of life. And about chances. About faith and hate and hope and angry. Sure, predictable in many moments and scenes. And too pink in others. For me, I admite, one of good points remains the performance of Louis Gosset jr. in a role who gives to him doing a special , seductive chatacter. Short, an interestong film.

This movie was excellent. It was not over the top preachy as the one reviewer said. It actually had a realistic transformation scene in the end. While the acting was not maybe as good as some Hollywood big names it was still very well done. If you enjoyed any of the Sherwood Pictures films such as Facing the Giants and Fireproof, you will enjoy The Grace Card. It is just as well done and will be a film that the whole family will enjoy. Excellent family film and a film that you can use as outreach as well. Great film to make a part of your family or church library.This would also be a great film to show to your unsaved family and friends. The ending was full awesome and showed the great grace of God and how it can impact families and change individuals.

It's so nice to see a well-made film that entertains, enlightens, and challenges us to be our better selves. Mac has good reason for his bitterness and unforgiveness, but it's colored his whole life and continually inflicts pain on his family. Sam, on the other hand, is understandably conflicted when he's forced to partner with Mac in this cop drama. The inter-twinings of their families and their lives bring the real issues to a fever pitch in a desperate situation. I also loved Oscar winner Lou Gossett Jr.'s character, as the elder sage who had clearly walked this road before. Everyone has something in their lives--some pain or disappointment they hold on to. THE GRACE CARD is a wonderful drama about shaking free from it, and at the same time, releasing others.
