The Redemption of Henry Myers (2014). 1h 41m | Not Rated

“The dialog is at times a little corny (u0026quot;He drew down on that snake with his rifle, Ma!u0026quot;), and the young girlu0026#39;s poor western folk accent and way of talking is a little too forced, but this is an earnest movie that faithfully represents the Christian message of redemption and forgiveness with a moving tale of love.u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eHenry helps rob a bank but doesnu0026#39;t want bloodshed, and of course it happens anyhow. He accidentally kills a preacher who gives him his miniature Bible before he dies and tells Henry that he can change.u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eAfter a year on the run, Henryu0026#39;s past catches up to him and he is wounded, and finds refuge with a widow and her two children. They turn out to be the family of the preacher that Henry killed, and the dilemma ensues. Torn between his great crime and growing love for the family, Henry is a tormented man and must decide if he accepts the gift of grace.u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eIt is sad to note that at least one viewer has unleashed hatred of Christianity. Why one would bother to show such bigotry is beyond me, but it says much more about the reviewer than the movie. This is a rare movie in which not only is the name of Jesus invoked, but hymns naming Jesus are sung (and beautifully at that). You have to admire their bravery in the face of all the Hollywood and liberal hating, to produce such a movie and not back down from content that will draw the ire of the haters.u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eThe movie moved me enough to rate 7 stars. With more polished actors and production it might have fared better. Great family movie that will leave you feeling good, especially if you are a person of faith.”
