ACQUITTED BY FAITH

Cinemavixion Review

Daniel Lusko's 2020 drama, "Acquitted by Faith," offers a somber exploration of a successful attorney, Benjamin Stills, portrayed by Casper Van Dien. The narrative centers on a tragic car accident caused by distracted driving, specifically texting while behind the wheel, which results in the death of a teenage girl. The film delves into Stills' subsequent legal peril and his profound spiritual journey as he grapples with guilt and seeks redemption through faith. Van Dien is supported by Catherine Oxenberg and Tom Schanley in this exploration of consequence, faith, and the possibility of finding grace amidst devastating error. While the film may present a straightforward moral lesson, its examination of a character confronting the dire repercussions of his actions and finding solace in faith provides a compelling, albeit heavy, viewing experience.
