As a donor heart arrives at a New York hospital, the intended recipient dies. Due to this unexpected crisis, an organ transplant committee must convene within one hour to decide which of three other patients currently waiting for a transplant deserves the life-saving heart. God's work is now left in the hands of five doctors, including Boxer (Kelsey Grammer), a cynical but brilliant heart surgeon; Jordan (Julia Stiles), an idealistic up-and-comer; and Gilroy (Janeane Garofalo), a weary bureaucrat. As the debate over the heart heats up, ethics and bribes clash, leaving the committee members to question what's more valuable: morals or money?
Leave your thoughts about The God Committee.
| Screen RantSarah Bea MilnerSqueezing every possible ounce out of the actors, script and sets, Stark delivers a thrilling medical drama that asks: what is the cost of living? |
| Movie NationRoger MooreThe God Committee is the sort of solid drama you get when actors you think you know are gifted with a script they can sink their teeth into, and make the most of their moment to shine. |
| VarietyNick SchagerWhile The God Committee routinely resides on the precipice of preachiness, Stark’s script (via St. Germain’s source material) avoids one-note sermonizing and characterizations at most turns, instead maturely investigating the messy intersection of medicine, morality and commerce. |

| The New York TimesBen KenigsbergA natural ham, Grammer only amplifies what is grandiose and bogus in this material. |
