However, a motorcycle accident leaves him wondering if he can use his second chance to help others, leading to the surprising realization that he's meant to be a Catholic priest.

"Mark Whalberg did an amazing job in this movie."

Kaitlyn Kendall

"Inspirational story of forgiveness and the idea that it’s never too late. Starts super slow but gets progressively better. Still not much more that a made for TV movie, but it has its moments and payoffs. "

Rob Paul

"Inspirational is an understatement. Religion is an easy target but what if a man’s faith is sincere and tested beyond what he should be able to endure."

Donna Thiessen

"absolutely terrible, actively makes the idea of faith disgusting. as a new believer this is the worst christian media I have ever watched. shallow hypocritical characters like wrapping the characters of shameless with a christian message. "

"This movie got me to cry almost from beginning to end. I suffer from a chronic illness, and have wrestled with my faith in the face of this depressing end on my horizon. My heart broke into pieces as I felt raw emotions I'm so used to pushing down. I saw this when it was in theaters, and it's taken me quite a while to write a review because of the intense feeling I experience just thinking about it. Prepare to cry! #tearjerkers #heartbreaking #bittersweet #chronicillness #religion_and_spirituality "
