Stoutor It's not great by any means, but it's a pretty good movie that didn't leave me filled with regret for investing time in it.

InformationRap This is one of the few movies I've ever seen where the whole audience broke into spontaneous, loud applause a third of the way in.

Bessie Smyth Great story, amazing characters, superb action, enthralling cinematography. Yes, this is something I am glad I spent money on.

Anoushka Slater While it doesn't offer any answers, it both thrills and makes you think.

dghtroftheKing My family and I watched this film and came away extremely disappointed and frustrated. We were excited and optimistic upon learning that Jerry Jenkins directed it, but afterwards felt that we'd been lied to and betrayed. This film does NOT embrace godly Christian values. It's references to God and Christianity are flippant, fake, and disrespectful. The leadership examples are TERRIBLE. They would be disappointing even if they weren't presented as "Christian". Such examples and behavior is unacceptable and inappropriate, especially in adult leadership. Oh, and it's not completely family friendly, there was some decidedly inappropriate and unnecessary content in there. Oh and another thing...the football was terrible. Those that compared it to Remember the Titans need to watch Remember the Titans again. The football and acting are way better, the leadership examples are far more edifying, and the theme is far more deserving of your time. This is not an accurate or good representation of true Christianity. Shame on you, Mr. Jenkins, for not having the guts to take a strong and unashamed stand on what you claim to believe in. We expected better from you. That is not the God I worship, the kind of leaders I would respect, or the kind of movie I will watch again. If you're looking for a good movie that has strong Christian values, good leadership, and is thoroughly edifying for the ENTIRE family, I encourage you to rent the movie Facing the Giants. Don't waste your time on this.

modelbehavior24 This movie is one of my all time FAVORITE movies!!! It is great, the actors are very talented. And, you can watch it with anybody without worrying about being uncomfortable. It is a very wonderful plot, and I think you should watch it! It took me a few times to watch it and like it, but it was AMAZING!!! Jerry B. Jenkins really pulls you into this movie and makes it seem so real. The music matches it perfectly (Nickel Creek). It takes place in a small town and makes you feel happy to watch it. I give it a ten, but it deserves higher then that! Anyone who doesn't like this movie, well they have their opinions, but they will, eventually.

mbsd-1 This was a wonderful movie. Primarily due to Dorian Normand's wonderful performance as Snitch #2. My wife and I led an 8 week discussion group with some of our friends. There some heated battles resulting in several law suits and a divorce. However, everyone agreed on one thing: the plot followed the wrong hometown hero. Snitch #2's emotional growth receives almost no attention at all. He, of course, is instantly lovable, yet almost unknowable. Nonetheless, the year and a half I spent writing redrafts of the script in which Snitch #2 receives the recognition that he deserves was one of the best times of my life. No studios nor independent film makers were interested, but I felt like I had made a difference. I saw this movie in the afternoon. That evening I watched a performance of The Cherry Orchard with Peter O'Toole and Emma Thompson. I left at intermission.

jeff_adkins43004 I was very impressed with the overall cleanliness of this film. Definitely something that the whole family can enjoy and nothing that a parent would have to cover anyone's eyes.This is an example of good Christian film making that will show that Christians can make a quality film.Their world view definitely comes out in this film. That view is hope!Keep up the good work.The film is up there in quality with Return of the Titans. It's a story about redemption, faith, forgiveness, love and team!Again, keep up the good work.Executive produced by one of the authors of the Left Behind Series.
