Should’ve had a different title
God’s Compass is basically a story about a woman who decides to take custody of a troubled juvenile to save him from jail and help him in the right direction. That’s the only connection to the title I can think of. Everything else about a compass seemed awkward and without any practical application. But if you can forget about that, it was actually a good movie. It had a good story, good script, good acting, and a happy ending. Sometimes we don’t know the reasons why we are led to make certain decisions. In this movie, Mrs. Waters eventually finds out why. Jazelle Foster and Joey Ibanez, (who do not appear on the front cover of the DVD) gave exceptional performances. I think that they both have a bright future in the entertainment industry.

Plot contrivance: The Movie.
Plot Contrivance: A way to move the plot forward without having to use reason or sense. An example could be a co-incidence, lazy writing or a deus ex machina.

Like most religious type movies out there, “God’s Compass” relies on the message carrying the movie instead of things like good writing, good acting or a coherent script. If the message is good then people will see it and say that all those things are there and it’s amazing and you really ought to go see it without actually giving things a second thought.

The problem is this movie is lazy. It wants to spoon feed you everything and come up with situations that honestly make no sense what so ever. The basic plot is simple enough. You have a family with problems, the mother is pregnant, the father is too committed to his job and the grandmother is a busybody. Enter Eli, the young car thief that hijacks the mother’s car. Except not really. It’s a plot contrivance to get him into the movie. It complicated but she goes into labor while he’s doing this and he drives her to the hospital, the same hospital her husband works for as a surgeon. At least he’s supposed to be a surgeon but strangely enough winds up doing other things there. Again, plot contrivance to show he puts his job ahead of his wife. However a cop, who just hangs around in the lobby immediately chases and arrests Eli. Again, plot contrivance because he hasn’t been accused of any crime. Had the mother said he stole her car or maybe he had a record or something but no. He’s chased into the parking lot for no reason, cuffed and immediately sent to prison. Not jail, prison. Maybe the writers ought to check how the law works before trying to write about it?

But the busybody grandmother decides to help the young man out and bails him out of prison for… reasons. Actually no real reason is given but they have to set this up for, say it with me, plot contrivance. Trust me, there’s a lot more here.

The father. He is the reason your wife is in the hospital with your baby. Personally if I were him I’d be on my knees thanking him for helping. But he needs to be a jerk about it so later on they can bond and have it be a learning experience because, you guessed it, plot contrivance.

Now Eli isn’t a bad kid because he has a young sister that he’s taking care of because their parents died. Say it with me, plot contrivance. The grandmother’s husband and the father’s father was saved because Eli’s dad was an organ donor and his kidney saved his life. Plot contrivance.

They go looking for the young girl and where do they find her? In the very house they grew up in. Plot contrivance. Plot contrivance. Plot contrivance. Eili and his sister are adopted and everybody is happy. The end.

This is such lazy writing that it feels like they had a bunch of ideas in a hat and simply drew a card every time something needed to be fit in and didn’t care if it didn’t make sense. But as I said, to the already converted this is nothing less than a great movie with a great message and nothing else matters. To anybody else it’s a hot mess of poorly thought out ideas designed to tell a story that in better hands could have been much better.
