Engaging Christian Drama - A Little Too Neat, But Worth a Watch

Never Heard" (2018) took me by surprise. As an independent Christian film, I wasn't expecting the level of acting I saw. Robin Givens delivers a compelling performance as Shala Davis - I honestly didn't even recognize her until I looked up the cast! Dorien Wilson is also solid as Montey.The film follows several threads that ultimately converge: the story of Aaron, wrongly imprisoned for a robbery and the death of a child; the drug dealer seeking revenge for that child's death (and, I must admit, played by a very handsome actor whose name I didn't catch!); Aaron's redemption; and his son, played by Romeo Miller, and Aaron's best friend, Diggy, who are both battling the temptations of street life. Diggy's situation is particularly poignant, as he struggles with a mother battling drug addiction. We also see a sweet, developing romance between Aaron and Montey's daughter, which adds another layer to the narrative.As expected within the Christian genre, there are several interludes featuring preaching and gospel music, which felt appropriate to the overall tone. However, like many Christian films, the resolution felt a bit too convenient. Aaron's acceptance of legal help and immediate cooperation, along with his seemingly trauma-free transition after years of incarceration, felt somewhat unrealistic. While the film does include a tragic event, the overall ending is perhaps a little too neatly tied up.One scene that resonated with me was the image of prisoners in orange jumpsuits walking in line, carrying Bibles. It's a powerful reminder of the significant role spirituality plays in the lives of many inmates and its potential for transformation.Despite its somewhat predictable conclusion, "Never Heard" is a well-acted and engaging film with a message of hope and redemption. It's worth a watch, especially if you appreciate Christian dramas with strong performances.

Not bad! But not reality the way I see it

For a low budget movie it's really not that bad. But I think people miss the point of the movie. I see it as a family movie, more educating than anything else. Shows the positive outcomes after tragedy.The Christian elements are good. People that don't like it obviously are none believers.However it's light entertainment. What the movie lacked was a strong opening!The acting isn't bad as some make out. But half the cast are rappers more than actors. Robin Givens was great. She deserves bigger projects!It's not a 10 out of 10! But it's not a 1 out of 10 neither
