Badge of Faith

Realistic movie about an officers faith and beliefs.

I was in the Roanoke city police academy when this particular incident happened,but I remember hearing about it. Very tragic. I really liked the movie. Bryan was a great guy from what everyone told me. Terrible this happened to him. Reading some of the other reviews in the review section was quite disheartening,and I think it has more to do with these people either having a very weak faith,or a disdain for Christianity in general. I never knew he went into ministry and became a reverend. At the department where I worked,I do remember that he was a very very well liked individual who was loved by many!

Like all Christian driven films, this film is sappy and emotional. This is not a negative, my opinion.

One must look beyond the strong religious undercurrent and recognize the positive message...which is valid for any person of faith.

Since the story is based on actual events, it is more powerful. This is worth watching if you are a person of faith or are looking for an uplifting movie...but be prepared for a good deal of sappy emotionalism.

Sometimes sappy emotionalism should be embraced ... I cannot be the only fan of Hallmark and Lifetime movies.

If you are a fan of films from Hallmark and Lifetime, I think you will enjoy this.

This is a good movie. It demonstrates the hard lessons that life throws at us when things beyond our control slam into us. Our policemen and first responders have a very difficult job. They put their lives on the line every day. This movie works to show that and how a faith in God is so important when things go crashing into us. There are parts of the movie that could be improved, but overall, this is a good movie. I enjoyed watching it. This policeman had his life upended suddenly and completely. And it's a true story. God bless you as you watch it.

The nuts and bolts to make a good movie are there, it may show similarities to other Christian movies...and in other ways, quite different. The 'movie' music is stupendous as are some of the drone shots. The backdrop of Roanoke mostly provides impressive scenery.

Christian themes but not on the corny or sappy side and done in a limited manner IMO.

But filming Bryan Lawrence's up-and-down recovery, this was something else and the best part. I've never seen anything like this in all the hospital or illness type movies there are. This facet of the movie is masterful. And the lead actor excelled in this role.
