Based on a true story Breakthrough tells the story of a 14 year old boy who falls into a frozen lake in Missouri and drowns, he is dead for nearly an hour, revived he falls into a coma where doctors give little chance of recovery. His adoptive parents however refuse to give up hope on their son, the boys mother preys intensely, inspiring (badgering) others to prey for him too as she asks god for a miracle.

Well, this was super in your face religious which I don't usually have a problem with except this movie had a way of making you feel like you are going to hell if you don't believe in god or at the least you are a bad person.

Surprisingly good cast here for what feels like a Lifetime/Hallmark quality movie. It's not that well done, low budget, cheesy, lots of singing and it appears that every single person in this town is into god, so not accurate either. There is also a mean spiritedness to the characters, Chrissy Metz, as the mom is very unlikeable, when others don't share her faith, pushy, angry. Topher Grace as a young pastor is selfish, pushing his youth sermons, stealing a shared meeting room from another group.

Ant then there's the whole "miracle" situation which I feel is just down to science, doctors and good luck -not your time to go. There is also considerable evidence of cold water drowning recoveries. It did make me question do I believe in miracles? Answer no it just wasn't his time.
