Gallows Road

This is a great Christian Movie and I highly recommend it.

It showed how hateful prejudice can be. Only God can help you to overcome the hurt and pain that prejudice inflicts. It also shows that going down the wrong road is your choice. Only you can get off Gallows Road. It is an eye opening film. If you can see that you are heading down the wrong road, you and you alone are the only one who can get off.

I thought Gallows Road was a very powerful movie. The idea of being in a situation with no acceptable solution is a powerful one, repeated often in Hollywood. In this particular case however, I know that I would begin revenge in relatively short order.I enjoy faith based movies because they offer plenty of entertainment, very low levels of violence, clean language, and usually deliver a clear, meaningful message; things missing from the majority of entertainment in our modern world.

Good movie, suitable for family. Bob's nephew Bay, and brother Seth, were the only one's a little stiff with their acting; otherwise, they all did a great job, and came across as convincing. Christian films are finally beginning to be made with quality; it also has a good story line and is filmed on location in Aledo TX. I thought it was nice touch, having Aledo's real mayor do a cameo. Frank was extremely patient and understanding; I have met bosses like that, and they are rare. As for editing: the scene where Snake talks with his father should have been left in the final cut. I don't think it elicits sympathy for him, but understanding, as to why he and Matty turned out the way they did, and how Snake earned his moniker. The action and fx are believable, and I was surprised when Bob killed the bully, like the snake he was. The deleted alternate ending did belong on the cutting room floor, as it was very weak. HOWEVER, things didn't get wrapped up as I expected. It would've been satisfying to see the corrupt sherriff get arrested, and nothing was mentioned about Bob's deed, so I assume he was cleared of anything illegal. Frank's explanation of the movies' title was very chilling, and woke Jake up, who was numb from guilt. Like I said, Christian movies are improving, but still lack the big bucks to advertise and compete against the gilded trash showing in theaters.

The theme of this movie is forgiveness. A man(Ernie Hudson,in a spectacular performance)struggles to forgive the men who burned his house and killed his family.Jake(Bill McAdams)who was part of that group,deals with guilt over his part in the tragedy. Frank(Kevin Sorbo)provides the voice of reason. His speech in Jake's hospital room is so very powerful. Each of us has walked down"Gallows Road" before and realized we needed to go another way. Simply put,"God forgives-will you?" I highly recommend this movie for all families.

This movie, "Gallows Road" showed the ugliest traits of men and how through forgiveness there is redemption and restoration for the ones wronged. It also shows how corruption when left unchecked and unchallenged changes the landscape of a town and its people. The end result was victory for the "good guys."

Really enjoyed this movie. A few of my favorite actors are in it. Movie shows how sometimes through the many trials we go through we want to give up on God and some even turn away. But many return when they realize they may have given up on God but he never gives up on us

Good movie on forgiveness regarding unthinkable crimes.

Enjoyed watching this DVD.

Interesting!

True power of forgiveness and humility was well illustrated. Loved it

As Christian movies go I found this one to be a dud.
