From Grief to Light "Saved By Grace" Review

I saw this short movie yesterday, it's the shortest in my list to see but it's a bit over an hour long. I'm being specific about that detail to show that I literally chose to see this movie from my long list yesterday because of the time it will run for. I needed something to take my mind off things after work but I needed to get things done after.

What I didn't expect from a movie this short was the lessons I'll learn from it, especially in the way the story is told. I'm pretty sure anyone who sees the title would first think the "Grace" that saved someone in the story, is maybe a pardon or another chance. It is but this time, the second chance or pardon came from a lady called Grace.

Since the movie is a bit old, I didn't expect much when I started to see it but I was totally into the story immediately after the first scene where a gun fight happened and shot the three persons in the space. Even though the story started to send me back and forth in the story to show what had happened after the shot, it got interesting slowly.

"Saved By Grace" is a Christian based story released in 2016 that aired for less than 1 hour 25 mins starring Joey Lawrence as Rick, Catalina Rodriguez as Grace, Muse Watson as Jeremiah and Robin Riker as Anne. The story revolves around the life of an officer who lost his wife to a gunshot and becomes so devastated that even years later, he considered commiting suicide but God had a plan for him through Grace and faith.

My favourite character could have easily been the guy who went through the transformation in the story but I totally love and could not stop being awed by the role and character played by Grace. She is a happy soul, so full of life and a lot of talks that it got a suicide thinker start to see life in a better life again. Her energy was so beautiful.

The end of the story gave me a shock I wasn't expecting at all, the complete side of Grace's story that she had told with smiles on her face until we heard she had lost her child. We didn't see another even bigger bad news coming but the fact that she could talk about it from a place of light, that she has accepted what happened to her as fate, it made me love her character more.

The movie is a good one, there are also two other character which I noticed their roles and appreciated how they aid words that taught lessons in the story. That is someone in Rick's neighbourhood and Rick's mum, their role was very much needed to help Rick come out of his dark. You should check the movie out, it's good.
