WWJD (What Would Jesus Do?): The Journey Continues (2014/Cinedigm DVD)


Picture: C Sound: C Extras: D Main Program: C+



Making a promise to his dying mother on her deathbed, a pastor promises to take care of his ex-criminal brother and to work together to help rebuild a fallen church. When suddenly his brother is gundown by a homeless man in a random act of violence, the pastor begins wondering what is the point of rebuilding the church if it only meant for him to lose his brother? Both the pastor and community loses faith in the church, but a nameless drifter begs to differ in WWDJ.


After his ex-criminal brother performs the ultimate sacrifice to save his pastor brother, the pastor loses faith in himself, that his brother, a non-believer, had more courage than him to lay down his life for his brother instead of he for him. With the help of the community and two teenage brothers, and one mysterious drifter with God's pearls of wisdom, they help the pastor find his path to forgive himself and his brother's killer. John Schneider leads the cast.


This was like a reverse prodigal son story, in where the bad son proves that it take more than just preaching the Bible to make a difference. And where the good son learns a lesson that there is more than just reading and repeating the Bible, but practicing what he preaches as well. The story comes usually comes full circle when the character(s) is/are able to make peace and amends with himself and those around them. In the end it is about knowing the difference between knowing the path ...and walking the path.


The anamorphically enhanced 1.78 X 1 image is soft, lossy Dolby Digital sound weak and there are no extras.
