How do
you make a family feature or melodrama worse?
Mix the clichés of both with oversimplifications of life and appeals to
religious faith that are too flat to work and you get a somewhat sincere mess
like Flywheel (2003) which became a
“faith-based” hit and launched The Kendrick Brothers into making a bunch of
such films.
This one
is about a father who has to make a choice to improve his life and that of his
family. You can figure out the rest.
The 1.33
X 1 image is a rough low def digital backup that can be very hard to watch,
while the Dolby Digital 2.0 Stereo has barely any surrounds, but is harsh and a
but shrill too often. Extras include
Kendrick Brothers audio commentary, TV spots, deleted, scenes, outtakes,
bloopers, making of featurette, intro and preview for their next project.
