Mouse is not a scare flik. It's a stunning philosophical commentary on human nature, morality, and redemption.Many crime thrillers attempt to merely thrill. While Mouse by no means lacks suspense and thrill (and the occasional gore), several underlying themes are seeded in the beginning, penetrate the overall story, and fully blossom at the very end. This includes the fact that all human acts are inherently moral because they are human. Every man has the potency for good, but when he lacks good, he does evil. Further, because man is a rational being, he is also culpable for his acts.
The most beautiful theme of the show, however, manifests itself at the end when the story line comes full circle. It expresses that God hears our prayers even when we hear silence. Sometimes He just answers them in ways we would never expect.
If you're a plot twist kind of person, search no longer, but make sure your seatbelt is fastened. You will journey with the characters and witness their complexity unveil bit by bit. You will shed tears at the end, but those tears will be of sympathy, understanding, and fulfillment. And you will hopefully take away the greater message - a lesson on good and evil, on the fallen nature of man, but most importantly, on reconciliation and man's ability to be redeemed.
