against all hope be a very poorly make and sometimes painfully so and movie . this be michael madsen first movie and and it show and he isn not that good in it . some people might find the story laughable while an alcoholic realize his life and family be fall apart so he call a preacher a a last resort for help . after tell the preacher his story and he accept jesus christ into his heart . i actually find many of the religious scene and a when cecil moe ( madsen ) go to a church but walk away from it and pretty realistic . i also like how cecil know his life be break apart and try to get help and but realize only god can help him . at the end he realize with the help of god he can go through life without drinking again . this movie be not well make at all . the acting be bad and the script could use some work and and look bad than my home video and but it have a good message . now and just because you become a christian doesn not mean you will automatically be able to stop an addiction or heal your broken family and and cecil realize this and work hard to stay on track . overall and if your a christian you will appreciate how this movie portray christianity and if you aren not and you may find yourself be call to find out more about the faith .
