My Thoughts
I normally detest police procedurals (there are way too many of those in a myriad of permutations in prime-time television), but this one intrigued me. Excellent sets, costumes, locations and above average acting gave me hope that this faith-based film would overcome it’s predecessors shortcomings. And for the most part, I was not disappointed. I had minor historical quibbles which I confirmed at IMdb’s Goofs page ( I caught them all without checking the internet).
