Rating: 2.5/10 -- Miles ahead in terms of production values and an avoidance of overt proselytizing. It'll likely be an enormous hit with the evangelical communities at which it's targeted. That doesn't save it from being an utter failure outside that narrow context. Full Review

Rating: 2.5/4 -- Will the vague messages get across? Will viewers take anything out other than a missive to be kind and inclusive? Some certainly will. Some won't. Full Review

Rating: D -- Takes two solid hours to make its trite points on faith and personal salvation, growing more unbearable as it goes. Full Review

Rating: B -- One of its strengths is its willingness to engage candidly and open-heartedly with the real issues that confront teenagers, giving it some heft and credibility. Full Review

Rating: 1/4 -- To Save a Life would be bland and boring even as a half-hour after-school special. Full Review
New York Post

Rating: 1.5/4 -- One of the biggest problems in most Christian genre movies is their lack of edge, a reluctance on the part of the filmmakers to show ugly reality.

Rating: A- -- I can see this being a positive influence for many who watch it and for some it could possibly even make a huge difference, and you don't get that from many movies these days. Full Review

Product Description:

Advertised by its distributor as a successor to such theatrically released religious dramas as FACING THE GIANTS (2006) and FIREPROOF (2008) -- though it came from a completely different production team -- this inspirational saga recounts the story of Jake Taylor (Randy Wayne), a well-rounded, Middle American teen who seems to have everything going for him, his world in perfect balance. But when an unexpected tragedy strikes in the form of a childhood friend's death, Jake suddenly begins to question everything he had long taken for granted, and he's soon forced to make a decision that will permanently change his future.
