Forevermore

It's Christian. Crisply so. But watch the bonus REAL murderess interview first. It's potent, and will demonstrate who realistic and powerful the film's portrayal truly was. In reality: Karla Faye Tucker was arrested Sep 1983, convicted 1984, and executed Feb 3, 1998. It was the amazing personal reversal of her life inside prison, and the media coverage, that made her case so noteworthy. This DVD depicts what happened as good as any I've seen. She was a religious-witnessing icon, so expect the movie to take that approach.Overall, Karla (Karen Jezek) is played (and looks) like the real killer. The actress has a Dolly Parton voice and a couple/three scenes seeming a bit hokey, like the arrest flashback, and the prep to the execution. A bit over-the-top; but overall, acting was realistic, as shown by the footage of the real pick-axe murder.A summation KFT quotation: "It's about God, about redemption." She was forgiven and saved but still required to pay the costs of her sin. God is forgiving but also just. This film shows both--unlike many other faith-based movies. In real life, killer KFT truly accepted judgment with God's love, grace, and forgiveness. It made real-life headlines.Speaking of Judge; the film's Judge actress (Pamela Carter) was also producer and make-up. She looked overdone when first shown entering her office, more like a hooker than judge.A prison official actress (Helen Gibson) was more influential to this film as producer, director, and writer. Some of the script was the real KTF's words.NO SUBTITLES or CC. Bonus: 2 min Dir interview; 30 mins of interview with the real KFT; 70 pix slideshow with music; 5 trailersYou will also hear a Ray Boltz and a Phil Driscoll music performance. Good points.Only 4 stars awarded since there was a few improbable scenes. But yet recommended teens-and-up viewing. This criminal was a beautiful but preachy gal, expect it. I'm trying to help buyers, so if you don't like preachy, don't purchase this DVD.

To say that this movie was a tearjerker for me would be under-estimating the power of this movie to touch one's heart and soul. I can't remember when I've cried so much--not just tears--sobbing. We lost an angel when we lost Karla Faye Tucker. She could have done so much more good than she'd already done by turning people away from drugs and towards a life with the Lord. There is beautiful Christian music throughout this film which creates an extremely stirring effect. At the very end we get to see Karla Faye Tucker herself doing the sign language for a Christian song. We see how much she was loved by her husband (yes, she got married by proxy on Death Row). But there were no conjugal visits. Her husband was such a fine Christian himself that he was able to love her completely without ever experiencing a sexual relationship with her. Their dream was to have a prison ministry together. Her death in 1998 by lethal injection for the pick-ax murder of a man and a woman broke her husband's heart, her prison chaplain's heart, and the hearts of countless Christians all over the world. Karla Faye Tucker was transformed by God, reminiscent of Paul's conversion in the New Testament. She went to her death filled with Christian love and kindness. One of the men assigned to putting her to death states as she lay on the gurney that he doesn't know how he can do his job--that he is Catholic and it's not in keeping with his faith. Karla states that she has sinned and that she is paying for her sins and that he shouldn't feel guilty. She was positively radiant with the love of the Lord. I just recently finished the book on her life which made me cry, but the movie really did a number on me! I recommend it highly.

Really enjoyed this bittersweet, tissues needed movie. How faith and God moved within this woman. I remember the day she was executed it was on the radio and I thought to myself, well she's paid her dues. Then once I watched the movie I saw how evil was part of her life until she found God. Kept wanting it to end differently but knew it wouldn't. Tissues definitely needed. And the actress did a great job and she even resembled her. A must see movie.

I can say without a doubt, that Forevermore is one of the most moving and wonderfully done movies that I have ever watched. And I love the acting, the storyline and how the movie was put together.Forevermore is an emotional movie. I cannot say enough good things about the acting. I felt as though I were right there, witnessing events as the movie unfolded. Karen Jazek gave such a perfect performance as Karla Faye Tucker. I have recommended Forevermore to everyone I could.This movie will be remembered long after most movies are forgotten. It is that unforgettable. I highly recommend Forevermore, and any movie made by the production company, Pure Flix.

This is an excellent story with great acting.This was one of the best true stories that I have seen.It was worth the money and I'm grateful to hear her story.

I just happened to be looking through the video archives when I thought I would watch this video because it was based on a true story. I absolutely loved it, I loved it so much that I couldnt stop talking about it to my friends and family. I even ordered a copy for my dad. I was touched by her faith in Jesus, and knowing that she had to pay for her crime, and that she will be seeing Jesus soon. Some of the acting could use some work, but I enjoyed the movie very much

All was as we expected. Seller did a great job of presenting it, shipping it, and getting it to us.

God at His work in Saving souls, a shining example of God lifting us from the lowest to the highest and becoming a child of God. That was the work of our Lord Jesus Christ dying on the cross, dying to cover our rotten sins and saving our souls from an eternity in hell!! Thanks for carrying this true story.GOD IS LOVE, HE LOVES US, ASK HIS FOREGIVENESS FOR ONES SINS AND WE BECOME NEW IN GOD, SAFE WITH HIM FOREVER AND EVER!!!!
