I recently saw this film at a showing in Illinois and we pleasantly surprised. What a ride Unlike so many other Christian films, Jackson's Run is edgy and contains a powerful message without being thumped over the head with a Bible for 90 minutes.
I am, by nature, a tough critic it takes a lot to impress me, it takes a lot to suck me into a film (to care about the characters, to be emotionally connected with the plot), and I went to a screening of Jackson's Run not really knowing what to expect.Jackson's Run is a powerful and intense film with an equally powerful and intense message the various elements of this movie has remained with me, and not a day has passed where I haven't thought of the complex characters, their relationships, the thought-provoking plot and the universal, multi-faceted message ...
Another in a long line of heavy-handed Christian movies that feels like it has to cram Jesus down your throat, at the expense of good storytelling. Positives: cinematography is pretty good.
This film inspired me since I first saw it, and I think that they should do more to make this better than it already is!!! Everything about this movie makes it feel amazing, and I honestly think that the movie should have it's own sequel.
When I went to see Jackson's Run in the theater I went in with a clear mind. I said to myself to just try to maybe get something out of it repeatedly as the lights went off and the movie started to roll.
I watched "Jackson's Run" to preview it as a possible movie to show our youth group. Knowing that it was made on a very low budget and by newbies to the film industry, I expected fairly lame acting and possibly a cheesy story line.
Creative plot with moving content. I was left with though-provoking questions about each character.
