Having watched a lot of Christian movies, I was not expecting too much in cinematography or the acting quality when I first started watching the indie film "To Save a Life" with Randy Wayne starring as Jake Taylor and Deja Kreutzberg as Amy Briggs. I will have to say I was impressed on both fronts and found the movie to be one of the best Christian movies I have watched.

"To Save a Life" deals with the process of Jake's conversion to Christ following the suicide of a close childhood friend he had abandoned after becoming a successful high school basketball star--a friend who had saved Jake's life by jumping in front of a moving car. It shows Jake living a party life as a sports star with his girlfriend Amy and how the suicide of his friend weighs on his conscious while he begins to explore Christianity. Through all of this, it covers many of the real-life challenges that many teens experience.
