Clancy



Movie with a Message
Jefferson Moore's best film to date. This is a story of personal redemption through faith; basically an Iraq War Veteran feels that he has done an unforgivable wrong, so he does not believe that anyone, including God, could ever forgive him. His "Angel" comes in the form of a young girl who is stranded into homelessness because of a drug-addicted mother. This is a well-done film on many levels. The power-hungry mayor of a large Midwestern town, for all practical purposes the only villain, is a realistic caricature of a small-town politician whose ambition and ego grow way too large. The lesson about faith is not couched in milk-toast terms; this is actually the film's greatest strength. Would recommend it for families; very very young children might not get all the details, but this is safe fare for Christian viewers and non-Christian viewers alike. However if the viewer has no belief in or faith in God, this film may well challenge that assertion!!

A Must Have for Jefferson Moore Fans
I have not seen anything by Jefferson Moore that I have not liked yet. Clancy does not disappoint. It took me a little while to get used to seeing Moore not playing his role of The Perfect Stranger, from his other 2 movies and television miniseries. A must have!!!! The caption of the film sums it up best : "Pain is inevitable. Misery is Optional." This film while a "Christian film", does not go the way of most films in the genre. Most Christian movies have a "and then they all lived happilily ever after" theme to them. This movie is more reality based, with a surprising ending.

Clancy
This is a very sweet story about God's love as seen through the eyes of a child. It also tells that as a bad guy you get what you deserve, but through
forgiveness you will get rewarded too.
