Flywheel (Director's Cut)

This movie was one of the first movies that the Kendrick Brothers made. It has a good story about a supposedly Christian man. This is merely for show. As the movie progresses God does a work on him and how it changes him and his life is amazing. Good movies for the whole family - no nudity, no cussing and nobody drops the F bomb..... I have bought all of the Kendrick Brothers movies.....

Excellent movie!

Got forafriend

Wonderful story. Great DVD. Everyone should watch it.

good family film

I like it for inspiration and life lessons!

Great movie!!! Thats it hands down!

Flywheel (Director's Cut) Imagine a used car salesman who has just ripped off his own pastor by selling him a car at a hugely inflated price. When the sale is done the pastor turns and says "I'd like to pray for you and thank God for how you've treated me today" Then he prays, "Father I ask that you bless and treat my friend here just as he has treated me today."This idea inspired the Kendrick brothers to create the engaging and heart warming story called "Flywheel". It is a story of redemption, perseverance and making things right after contributing to a mountain of wrong. The Kendrick's cleverly but authentically make God a central player in the events that unfold in the life of our embattled used car lot owner, Jay Austin.Austin's focus on getting ahead moves him to trample on anyone who gets in his way, including his wife and son. When he realizes he's about to lose it all, he seeks help from God. As God gently but firmly takes center stage in the story and in Austin's life, winter melts into spring and the once fallow used car lot becomes a budding garden of life and hope.Often the best creative works turn out to be the least complicated - ones that tap into that eternal purity and richness everyone appreciates when it emerges. Flywheel is such a story. The simple story line is nothing new, but it's in the telling that the sweetness arises. In one scene, Austin is confronted by a news team who exposes his formerly corrupt practices on local TV, threatening to destroy what has turned into an honorable business after Austin's re-birth. Austin realises his inability to combat what the news crew has revealed and offers a meak, "What you are reporting is true, but I'm not like that anymore," which is way overshadowed by the bad report.Rather than lashing out, Austin seeks a quiet place to turn to God and tell him, "I can't do anything about this. I need your help." As he's praying all the people who he had paid back from his former days of deceit come to his aid and offer up their testimonies to the astonished news crew. God's quick and decisive action turns what appeared to be total defeat into another of His amazing works of redemption.This is a movie made by mostly volunteers with no professional actors, yet shines through as a timeless story everyone can appreciate. God is not only in the story, He's in the credits as well. This is a no-contest 5-star work.

I lover watching and collecting Christian based movies as I am a believer. Another good one. I believe it could still be of some interest even to people of no Faith or different faith. It's very entertaining with some lessons to be gleaned

We bought this film recently, expecting it to point out some ethical business principles from which we could learn. We found it surprisingly good and enjoyable even for the whole family. The film centers around a car selling business man and contains a wonderful message for family and business life. We think it to be inspirational and very recommendable.

This was a good film ! I watched Facing the Giants and I wanted to know where it all started. This was like watching a home movie BUT I didnt notice towards the end because the story line was brillant. So true !Enjoy the film.

Really happy to receive this dvd. If there was a comment it would be the quality of the movie but you have to account for the fact it was made before HD. Otherwise for the first film the Kendrick brothers ever made I am able to put up with the made for tv look.

A must watch
