A true story. Good things should only happen to good people, and bad things only to bad people - if God is and is in control. Well, that's the juvenile micromanagement motif Jonathan held as a youngster, leading to agnosticism, since God didn't micromanage, breaking Jonathan's illusion. As a police officer, tender-minded Jonathan moved into slavery to alcoholism to drown his on-job stresses, even cheating on his wife and daughter, and getting to the pitch of contemplating suicide. A fellow officer witnessed a number of times over the years about the power of Christ to break chains of slavery.
The film comes across to me as a basic evangelistic message, with the story is backdrop, not vice versa. I prefer films the other way. It does factor in reasonable realism, which is good, and is quite emotional at points. It does not present Christianity as a magic fix, but as a 'magic' ingredient in the fix: that is good.
Regarding prayer request, there is request to Jesus the lord, request to the lord as meaning God yet speaking to God about God as a third party. There's request to God in "God's name". That is a combination of misdirectionalism, misvisualisation, and misunderstanding.
There is frequent drawn-out tones, oppressive to my ears.
