Wallrath’s story proves hope is found “Deep In The Heart.”

This is the true story of an alcoholic man who fights his demons and refocuses himself on ‘giving back’ by putting kids through college. Guiding him is a spiritual figure known only as ‘The Bearded Man’ who teaches him that faith brings second chances.

Dove Review: The film is inspiring, showing Dick slowly begin to reconnect with his children and even finding happiness in the romance department, but the content is graphic and strong including many utterances of strong language, and a few sexual innuendos, not to mention a lot of drinking and smoking scenes. The violence level hits a three in our content rating as well. For these reasons, we cannot award the movie our Dove “Family-Approved” Seal but due to its strong faith message, we believe it qualifies for our “Faith-Based Seal”, which is specifically for movies with a faith message that contain strong and realistic content. It’s also interesting to note that this film is based on a true story.– www.dove.org

FURIOUS 7
13VL – NOT SUITABLE FOR FAMILY VIEWING

Synopsis

Dominic Torretto and his crew thought they left the criminal mercenary life behind. They defeated an international terrorist named Owen Shaw and went their separate ways. But now Shaw’s brother, Deckard Shaw, is out killing the crew one by one for revenge. Worse, a Somalian terrorist called Jakarde and a shady government official called “Mr. Nobody” are both competing to steal a computer terrorism programme called God’s Eye, which can turn any technological device into a weapon. Torretto must reconvene with his team to stop Shaw and retrieve the God’s Eye programme, while caught in a power struggle between terrorists and the United States government.

Dove Review
The film features themes of loyalty and brotherhood, and has Dom telling Brian, who is finally ready to settle down, that family is the main thing in life. Despite the action and thrilling scenes, the movie contains several utterances of strong language and a variety of scenes of fighting and violence. So, regrettably, we are unable to present “Furious 7” our Dove “Family-Approved” Seal. – www.dove.org
