If you are a Christian and you love movies, this is a must watch. So beautiful and the production is really good. Good story and great message. Its a sweet movie that progresses nicely. I really wish there were more movies like this. Both me and my wife really enjoyed it. Give it a go :)

What a great movie. I love anything legal,and have watched "12 Angry Men", "Shawshank Redemption", "Lincoln Lawyer", "Witness for the Prosecution", and so many other great legal stories so many times. I was totally refreshed by this excellent story of faith and friendship. I could even have it on with my kids around. Wonder of wonders! Great plot, relevant, and well done! Thanks, Alexa, wherever you are!!!!!

After recently watching this movie I would like to applaud its efforts in furthering the entertainment value of Christian films while at the same time maintaining a generally strong spiritual message. Spiritually, the film had a lot of great themes that tied into the plot very well. Also, to its credit, this film actually found a way to bring in John 3:16. This is excellent because many Christian films do not even include any reference to the gospel or being born-again! 'Mountain Top' is really a unique film in which Christian elements are included into a crime mystery story in such a way that it does not entirely play out in a cliche way. (Although the villain is quite obvious!) It really appears to be an experimental film in that it has the a strong sense of a crime mystery movie, yet does not have any violence, sex, or language in it. Perhaps the only questionable part is the main characters' cooperation with a man who obtains evidence using illegal means. Overall, I would recommend it as a good family film to watch! On to the downsides. First, after watching the movie I am not quite clear on the title's relevance to the plot. My guess would be that there are times in the movie where the main character goes on a mountain top and reflects upon his life, perhaps realizing that something is out of place? It is a cool cover and graphic for the movie, but does not have much relevance to the film itself. Second, as a Christian film the main downside for me was the sense in which it portrayed the church in general. The two main characters' churches were both portrayed as very judgmental and close-minded with few exceptions. One church accused one character of embezzling the money without letting the complete case play out, while the other church fired the main character after the church burned down before finding out what really happened. There is a strong theme that church people are generally ignorant, un-spiritual, or close-minded; and furthermore that the truly enlightened people are those who are outside of the church. It is outside of the church that the two main characters were able to find out what God was saying, and what 'true spirituality' really is. No thanks to the church! This movie portrayed church people as being out of tune to spiritual realities. So sad. It ends literally with the main character being completely content leaving his calling as a pastor to work as a lawyer -- seemingly without a church to attend. The second main character also seems to be church-free and happy after being absolved of his crimes. The anti-church bias is pretty clear. For that reason this movie lost a few stars from me, and as a Christian should be viewed with carefully attention to the spiritual realities of the Christian life.

Slow all the way and finished quickly in the last 3 minutes. Don't bother.

A compelling story of simple faith. All characters do an amazing job with their roles! Barry Corbin manages to conveys a childlike wonder of God with His eyes and persistence throughout the film. Equally effective was Davis Osborne as the antagonist. This character portrays a cold emptiness with his steel blue eyes and the viewer can feel his hopelessness. All the actors definitely "brought their roles home"! Great directing, impeccable casting.!

We were searching for a decent movie to watch, and this one turned out to be a gem. Never heard of the movie or the actors but my wife and I were pleasantly surprised at how well this was made. It kept our interest the entire time and moved along quickly, leaving us wanting to see more. The actors were all very authentic and believable (no eye rolling in this one). Well worth the time to watch it and the rating reflects that. Enjoy! p.s. This reminded me of the some of the Orthodox stories of "fools for Christ". Check them out too!

Good characters and good cast. My favorites were the minister/lawyer and the newspaper guy. This would make a great tv series.

I just started a subscription to UP Faith and Family, and this movie appeared at the top as a recommendation. The cover was done well, so I proceeded to read the description. It peaked my interested, so I gave it a try. It captured my attention from the start, and I thoroughly enjoyed it. I kept thinking "why haven't I heard of this before!" Great plot, beautiful scenery, and such good acting. Coby Ryan McLaughlin was so convincing - no over-acting, and I felt the kindness of the man he played. And the performances of Barry Corbin and Lin Shaye were truly awesome. Loved it! Wish I could find more like it.
