Synopsis

Everything can change in an instant ... and take a lifetime to unravel. When Mac McDonald loses his son in an accident, the ensuing 17 years of bitterness and pain erodes his love for his family and leaves him angry with God ... and just about everyone else. Mac's rage stonewalls his career in the police department and makes for a combustible situation when he's partnered with Sam Wright, a rising star on the force who happens to be a part-time pastor and a loving family man. Can they somehow join forces to help one another when it's impossible for either of them to look past their differences-especially the most obvious one? Every day, we have the opportunity to rebuild relationships and heal deep wounds by extending and receiving God's grace. Offer THE GRACE CARD ... and never underestimate the power of God's love.

jhilton0907 Now, I have seen a lot of Christian movies and not many of them had actually brought me to tears than this one did. This is truly a moving movie, that many people can actually relate to, especially if you lost someone and blamed it on God. I highly recommend viewing this movie and see what you can get out of it. The movie was truly beautiful from the start and how it portrayed tragedy was heartbreaking, especially the last part of the film.The movie stars the amazing Lou Gosset Jr, but the real star of the movie is the Preacher, played by Michael Higgenbottom. His character was amazing and was really adorable in some of his earlier scenes. But his character has some of the best moments as you reach the middle of the movie, struggling with his emotions as he tries to deal and help with Bill McDonald played by Michael Joiner.Michael Joiner's Bill McDonald is the most relatable character in the movie, as many of us has been like him before. Grieving over the loss of a loved one or just be nasty to everyone we talk to. His story is not only tragic, but also tear jerking, especially the last half of the movie, when he reveals what he is truly feeling. The way the movie ends is how ALL of us should treat one another, with love and respect, but also be forgiving of those who has cause us pain and heartbreak.My one advice for you, just watch the movie, don't let the Christian themes scare you away. In my opinion, when movies have Christian themes like this one, it's bound to be a great movie, and they are the better choices for movies. This movie should viewed by everyone, as it will touch your heart and even pull your heartstrings a bit.Now the music in this movie was perfectly done. The songs in this movie was amazing, and they really reflected the tone and the emotions the characters were feeling. If there was one thing that this movie wins, is with the songs they used in this movie.Now, my overall view of the movie is this, this is by far the best Christian movie I have ever seen. It ranks all the way up there with amazing Christian movies like God's Not Dead and Do You Believe? All great movies with heart touching stories. But be careful when showing this to kids, as the themes of this movie could sadden them or scare them. It is best to show this to kids who are ages 10 or older, as they could handle the themes.
asbarratt-181-666602 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.
dtucker86 Louis Gossett Jr. was always one of my favorite actors and its always a joy watching him, except in this film. He has aged so badly its pathetic. This is the fourth "Christian" film I have watched in two years and I don't plan on seeing any more. I was the only one in the theater. This movie is mostly so dark and gloomy that its absolutely depressing. One cop is like the Simpson's neighbor and the other is like Oscar the Grouch. He is such a *^%$$% to his wife, son and everyone else you don't care about him. Then it has a typical sappy ending that feels like its just tacked on. "Christian" movies like this, no wonder people don't believe in God.
sardissun An awesome story made with local citizens of Memphis! I really hope that opening weekend had enough attendance to keep the GRACECARD on the move! I highly recommend bringing in tissues, because the movie will touch your heart. In reading a few of the earlier posted reviews regarding the lack of polish/refinement of the move, I want to add that even though this movie isn't as "retouched" the way some of the bigger production agencies make them, this only adds character and heart to the story.Memphis isn't the only city divided, there is bigotry and hatred in all cultures and nations. Lets all do our part and take the message from this wonderful film and start issuing GRACECARDS! I think it's a exceptional idea!
