In the Name of God

Mason (Patrick Davis) is in the system. A foster kid bounced from home to home and with a huge chip on his shoulder. It seems no matter where he ends up, it just never works out and it's definitely his fault.

Now things are about to change. Mason is assigned to a tough, new family who really wants to make it work. Whatever Mason throws at this family, they just love him right back. 

Mason sneaks out at night, insults the family continuously, vandalizes the local hardware store, and on and on. Finally he is forced into group counseling. Now, about that love,  it doesn't seem like things are going to work out after all.

The love gets tougher and Mason is held accountable. It seems that everyone, the neighbors, fellow group counselees, the lady at the hardware store, EVERYONE, is turning the screws on Mason. 

Soon Mason begins to slowly change. The change is genuine, but the others just don't see it. Is it too late for Mason? Can his new family continue to show him Christs love?

Watch for actors you know and love such as John Ratzenberger Robyn Lively and Eric Roberts.

In the Name of God has a natural flow and story line. The acting and story are good and quite as you might expect from a movie featuring older foster children, the foster families and those with similar struggles and experience, while shying from bad language. This is a realistic family movie, but with mature content and some conflict. For that reason it is rated PG.
