One of the biggest problems in most Christian genre movies is their lack of edge, a reluctance on the part of the filmmakers to show ugly reality.

It does accomplish its mission of presenting a heartfelt and well thought out story through the eyes of faith.

Whether or not youth audiences will grasp the full human, religious, spiritual and moral landscape or implications of what [To Save a Life] is saying and what Jake is seeking, ample resources are available for reflection and reinforcement.

Takes two solid hours to make its trite points on faith and personal salvation, growing more unbearable as it goes.

Great watch, good storyline, great casting. M a Muslim but I can relate to the movie. It's happening to all youth & parents of today. What I see, to these people God & religion is just an institution. The more one is modern, the further away one from God. When one is away from God, one is more susceptible to depression. Heavens forbid, na'uzubillahi min zallik
