This movie demonstrates the hope we have when we struggle spiritually. Damon Sharp wants to be drafted by the NBA and he struggles with his faith when it doesn’t go the way he had hoped. He has ups and downs with his brother Darrin, who parties and keeps encouraging Damon to do the same. Damon wants to draw closer to God and Darrin makes it difficult. Damon learns that Darrin is dealing with some issues himself. Ultimately the movie is about the choices that we make.
We see a powerful conversion scene near the end of the film, and Damon meets a nice Christian girl named Sarah that he connects with. He also has a new opportunity come his way after several disappointments. Jason Fields, who wrote the movie and directed it, stars as Damon and turns in a terrific performance, as do Sean Douglas as Darrin and McKenna Jones as Sarah. Due to some drug use and the mention of dealing in the film, as well as a few comments about a male character sleeping with a woman, we are awarding this movie our Faith Based Seal. This movie makes clear the changes that God can accomplish in a willing person’s life. It concludes with Matthew 10:39 that states if a man loses his life in Christ that he will find it.
