Title is a little misleading. This is not a so called Christian Movie, but there are several references about Christianity or God in it. There is quite a bit ow swearing, and I suppose it did happen.

Now about the movie. It is an excellent tribute to those who pioneered heart surgery. Although it is about surgery, there is as much said about racial problems and progress as well.

We need more movies about true stories that help shape our country. November 9, 2008

mos def did a great job in this film. this is one of my favorite movies because it shows how one black man rose above the odds to do something with his life and follow his dreams. although it took years for him to receive credit he did in the end. great film. September 24, 2008

rating: 5 QuoteOne Of Rickman's BEST, and that is Saying Something...Quote
The plot is incredible, and other reviewers have covered that aspect quite well. The performances are beyond compare. If you know Rickman's work, you realize he is known for having one of the best voices in the world, combined with intelligence and excellence in every scene. Never once, in this film, do you doubt he is an American from the South. I was a huge fan before I purchased this. I was amazed that this was the same man. This film illustrates that the quality and depth of his ability has not yet been fully showcased.

Rickman becomes the characters he plays - they do not become him. Acting is defined as the art of reacting. Alan Rickman defines excellence in this film. It is worth viewing again and again, both for the message and for the performances. August 7, 2008
