Mercy Streets Reviews
No truth here.
One reviewer praises this movie for being "a Christian movie right up there in the secular scene." Unfortunately, that's what I find wrong with it.
Yes, it has an interesting plot with twists and turns, and yes, the acting is very convincing. In that sense the movie could be called "good." However, if you care for something to be true to the Bible you might be disappointed.
The main spiritual "truth" is "God has already forgiven you", so as to suggest that God's forgiveness is automatic and happens to everyone independent of any personal decisions. So, even when the characters feel bad (or should we say: "are convicted"?), the message is not: "receive Jesus Christ for forgiveness of your sins" but rather: they are forgiven already. How or why, we are not told.
To invite non-Christians to see this movie seems like a bad idea to me. They wouldn't have any better understanding on how to become a Christian afterwards than they did before - possibly even less.
I watched "Mercy Streets" mainly because the other movies with David White were very, very good: "Second Glance", "End of the Harvest" and "The Moment After." However, this one is very different and I would not recommend it.
Saw it in a theatre
My favorite thing about this little surprise of a movie
was the music! There are several songs in there from
Keaton Simons. And remember, we're talking almost five years ago. He's just having his album released this year...so it's a little gem, showing the filmmakers being way ahead of their time.
Now you can google him and he's all over the place. Back then he was just a teenager who wrote songs, which somehow found their way into this really entertaining movie.
