This is a true love story and one that I think is very imporant for anyone who's ever had to work hard for love. Jacob is the son of Isaac, but was born just a few seconds too late. He has a twin brother whom he ends up have to betray, along with is father, in order to get the inheritance her mother feels should belong to him. This movie, made for TV, does the story real justice. It tells the love story of Jacob and Leah and shows that true love conquerors all and is willing to work hard. I think that's a lesson missing in many modern relationships. Real love takes work! It's also a story of forgiveness and mercy because Esau, Jacob's brother, eventually forgives him for what he did to him. Modine plays a very good Jacob and I felt he connected with the character. I also felt the supporting cast was very good also. The costumes and setting helped to move this story along without being distracting. Good family film too.

I liked it. It's hard to find a Biblical movie that sticks to the "Script" (The Bible) but this is pretty close. There are no glaring inaccuracies that I noticed. Dialog has to be written for these movies because we don't have most of it and the writers did a believable job, to me. I'd like to see more of these actors look and speak like Middle Eastern people in stead of Englishmen (see Nativity Story), but it is what it is. Good Believers movie
