Product Description
Mercy Steets DVD: David White) is a small-time criminal who, upon his release from prison, is met by his former partner, Rome (Eric Roberts). Rome wants John to join him in a counterfeiting scheme that could earn them $20 million. John is trying to go straight, but he needs to raise money for a real estate project he's trying to get off the ground, so he agrees, despite his misgivings. Rome trusts John with $50,000 in front money, but John double-crosses Rome and runs off with the cash; Rome is not at all amused and is determined to get revenge on John. On the run and with few options, John seeks out his estranged twin brother Jeremiah (also played by White), a novice minister who long believed his brother was dead. But John soon discovers that Rome has mistaken Jeremiah for John and has taken him hostage. Jeremiah tries to play along in hopes of saving his brother's life, while John tries to stay undercover by posing as Jeremiah -- and even tries to fool his brother's girlfriend Samantha (Cynthia Watros) into believing he's a man of the cloth. Produced by a Christian film production firm, Signal Hill Pictures, Mercy Streets also features Stacy Keach, Lawrence Taylor, and Robert Lasardo. ~ Mark Deming, All Movie Guide

 | A Solid 3 1/2 Stars Jul 13, 2009 |
Well, I'm skeptical, I admit, viewing "Christian" movies since many have been made that weren't realistic nor well-constructed. This one is respectable: a decent plot, good acting ( Eric Roberts and especially Stacy Keach ), solid soundtrack.
I can't give it a higher rating since the story/pace felt sluggish overall. There was something about the lead actor that seemed to drag at times, and the depth of emotion ( i.e. Samantha's character after she was verbally thrashed by the "fake" Jeremiah ) needed some help.
Overall, I recommend the movie for being a good tale about forgiveness and love. | | |  | Finally, a Christian Action Movie May 21, 2008 |
If you are a Christian and like action movies, this is a movie for you. There are car chaces, foot chases, criminal violence and most everything one would expect in a typical Hollywood action movie - except that there is no bad language. This isn't a movie for preteen kids. I would say that this is the best Christian oriented action movie so far.
When most Christians in Christian movies are obnoxiously religious, it is refreshing to see a completely different portrayal of believers. Indeed, there are four Christians portrayed in this movies, and each is at a different level of belief. The seminary student about to be ordained loves the Lord, but he is not completely sure in his belief and lets his emotions get in the way at times. The police officer is a lay person who is sure of his belief, and willing to just 'be there' for others who need him. The student's girlfriend seems to be mostly a nominal Christian. And the pastor played by Stacy Keach is a mature Christian, wise in his approach to counseling.
I probably should also mention that this movie is well within the standards of Hollywood movie making. It probably has the most stunts of any Christian theme movie. In short, it is a very exciting movie that could have been just another 'good brother, bad brother' movie, but it rises well above the ordinary with new and refreshing plot twists.
[To 'No Truth Here,' I wonder if you missed the part of the movie where Stacy Keach was counseling Jeremiah. If that isn't a solid Christian message, what is? It may not be 'the Baptist' or some other Fundamentalist message, but it certainly is well established Biblical truth.] | | |  | Pleasingly entertained Oct 18, 2007 |
| I love this movie. It's not a Christian film just because it has religion in it. What it is is entertaining. The drama, the love between estranged twin brothers that changes lives for the better. The compassion and goodness shown in the brother who was raised by criminals and who overcame his upbringing to do the right thing at his own sacrifices. The revealing of humanity in the hearts of the not so fortunate. The struggle of a young man who wants nothing more than to make amends for a decision made as a boy that cost him his brother. Finding out his brother lives gave him a second chance, a second hope. Switching places, one a priest in training, one a criminal by vocation, brought out the best in both. They found each other and then they found themselves. Laugh, cry, and be entertained by this unusual and remarkable film. | | |  | Poorly done movie, not particularly Christian. Oct 2, 2006 |
| We heard this was a Christian movie, and were sorely disappointed after viewing it. First, the Gospel was never clearly presented. The church represented was the Episcopal Church, which is a mainline denomination where few claim to be "born-again." Secondly, the plot is confusing and silly, with the main character playing two roles (identical twin brothers) who essential change places. However, the good one is supposed to be a pastor, and yet he is willing to commit a crime for his criminal brother, and he also cannot seem to understand salvation, as he ends up in another church being preached at by Stacy Keach (actor playing a priest). The story is a non-sensical mess. Save your money. | | | | Very good movie Jul 10, 2006 |
| Seen this one in the theaters when it came out. Was very impressed by the actor David White and really enjoyed this film. One of the best Christian films so far. | | | Write your own review about Mercy Streets
