Echolight I Am . . . Gabriel
Promise, Texas, has lost all hope. Businesses are failing and the young people can't wait to grow up and move away. Just when things are at their darkest, a mysterious boy wanders out of the wilderness with nothing but the clothes on his back---and a very special message for the townspeople. But will they listen? Dove approved. 93 minutes.

This is new territory for me but I thought it would be interesting and helpful to review some faith based films. Special thanks a. larry ross communications for the opportunity to review I Am. . .Gabriel and providing a copy of the movie.
What originally drew me to watch the movie was the cast. I’ve always appreciated John Schneider’s work (Smallville, etc.) and have always been a fan of Dean Cain (Lois & Clark). The film was directed by Mike Norris and does a pretty good job of telling a universal story. As God’s creatures we long to see the presence of God at work in our lives, especially when things are rough. I Am. . .Gabriel shoots out the gate with a very intense first scene and sets the stage for this “withering” town. From then on though the movie slows to a pace that would be great for a book but tends to drag a bit for a movie. The characters are good though at times the acting is stilted.
Faith based films are definitely improving and I see that trend even in I Am. . .Gabriel. The story makes it worth watching and overlooking some of its less than stellar aspects. And it’s a good family movie for sure. I can see children enjoying this film as long as Mom and Dad are aware that it does deal with some difficult areas pretty openly (death, suicide), so older kids perhaps. One of my favorite parts of the story is the message that “Gabe” brings with his prayer mat that God just wants us to talk to Him. So true!
Theologically, I’m sure there could be some arguments, but again, the premise of the story and the message of God’s love is really what shines through in this movie. And I so appreciate actors like Schneider and Cain who step out of the Hollywood glitz to give their talents for the kingdom of God.
I Am. . .Gabriel is sure to inspire you!

This movie did have the gospel. It was truly inspirational. No swearing. Good acting. It is encouraging. If I had to rate this dvd from 1 to 10, I would give it an 8.

So it’s no secret, according to its own cover, that this boy is supposed to be the Angel Gabriel. The part which is supposed to fascinate you, however, is what he’s doing and how the people around him respond. That’s what I wanted to know when I saw the trailer for the movie: I am… Gabriel. This movie started making me think of how awesome The Encounter was (yes I did order The Encounter II: Paradise Lost by the way for those wondering), a movie where people confront and are confronted by Jesus Christ himself, and led to me purchasing this film online hoping for similar results.
I am… Gabriel is a story about a dying town called Promise, Texas. There’s hardly any work, the town hasn’t had rain in a while, people are getting sick physically and mentally, and are in great need of encouragement/hope. Gabriel is sent to Earth in the form of a boy purposely, and desires to make an impact for all of the residents there. Most importantly though, Gabriel wants God to be the one who is glorified throughout all of this, not himself and no one else.
I am… Gabriel has a nice cast and it also has a really great concept for a movie, and although it is a good movie it wasn’t as awesome as I thought it would be; of course then again maybe my expectations were a bit high lol. I mean there were definitely plenty of things going on in the movie, but I was expecting more people to be engaging Gabriel with suspicious confrontation besides Dean Cain’s character. I was also expecting more specific inspirational quotes than what I heard, though I did hear some pretty decent ones. Thought it was pretty neat to see a mentally handicaped person in the movie, he did a really nice job and thought it was neat they hinted that they’re more perceptive on things than some people think. Also liked the ending, thought it was cool to see Gabriel’s transformation and the town’s changes. I also like the idea of making a prayer mat, even though my first thought when seeing it was “isn’t this an islamic idea?”, it sounds neat and what Gabriel said about having a conversation was probably the most inspirational part of the movie. Though this wasn’t as great as I was expecting, it’s still a good movie.

Whenever I watch movies I'm not sure what to think. It's not my normal go-to genre to watch drama as I'm more of an action and adventure with big special effects type of movie watcher. However this one is worthy. When it comes to Christian films there seems to be a big line with some being overly cheesy and some being really quite good. This one was really pretty good in an unbelievable way. What I mean is that here we have Gabriel, as in the angel Gabriel that comes to a town on the edge of failure and hopelessness with a message and a gift from God. It is not something you see every day and this was not a big budget film, but it was well done. The scenes were real and in small town life rather easy to see and imagine, no matter how unbelievable our minds think miracles may be.
I knew going in that I would probably be a fan as I have enjoyed many things from Mike Norris over the year, even if they do usually have action, this was more a drama - well definitely a drama. That and being the Superman fan that I am I have always liked Dean Cain and Jonathan Schneider. There were many unknown-to-me names in this film, but overall I enjoyed it and wouldn't mind looking at Echo Light again for more films. All of the previews were enticing as well. It's about time we have more family friendly with wonderful messages to fill our TV screens.
God has a message for you and he wants to hear from you.
*Thanks to the publicist for providing a copy for review.*
