Great Movie

Rating: 8/10 (24 March 2007)

With movie icons such as Sam Jackson and Christina Ricci, how can you go wrong. Justin Timberlake does very well for his first time out. This movie may not be Oscar material but still a good movie. Jackson plays his role well and is a believable character whose good will is partially due to the loss of his wife to his brother and his inner struggle for meaning and purpose due to this loss. He is a Christian man doing what he thinks God as ordained him to do and heal a woman spiritually and socially who he finds beaten and unconscious near his rural home. Ricci plays her dramatic role flawlessly. Justin T. acting is acceptable and actually well done. I was expecting a very dark ending and very surprised when it turned out the opposite. I enjoyed it and think you will too.
