Mercy Streets

Mercy Streets is a 2000 Christian actiondrama film written and directed by Jon Gunn. It starred Eric Roberts and Stacy Keach, among others.

Jeremiah, a wellloved and respected priest, is forced into the criminal underworld of his brother when he is taken hostage by Rome and blackmailed into taking part in a counterfeiting scam. Haunted by the guilt of what he believes to be his brothers death, Jeremiah struggles to atone for his wrongdoing and redeem his faith by going along with the plan. However, Romes simple plan begins to go horribly wrong when Jeremiah escapes and comes face to face with the brother he thought was dead. They both cannot turn away from the consequences of their actions or the love and forgiveness of God.Kevin Thomas of the Los Angeles Times said, Despite a competent cast and all the energy Roberts in particular contributes, the filmmakers cannot sustain enough momentum to keep their film from seeming contrived and preachy. Ted Baehr of Movieguide said, Mercy Streets is a masterful piece of moviemaking with a strong Gospel message. ........
