Movie

This movie was made in my hometown. It was excellent. Movie is worth watching. GREAT!!!!

Praise God, Give Life Your All, and Be Happy

I cannot improve on the top two reviews, so my contribution will be two sentences on meaning and a list of other movies that have inspired me.

God came back into my life with force a year ago when I found a buyer for my for-profit and realized I wanted to spend the last 20 years of life being intelligence officer for the 5 billion poor, via Earth Intelligence Network. I believe, and I praise God, to the point of having a prayer kneeler, a crucifix, and the Latin mass in my office study.

Better Than I Expected

I'm not a big football movie fan but I'm a sucker for overcomer movies so it was just a matter of time before I viewed Facing the Giants.

I hesitate to embrace the positive press regarding Christian made movies because sometimes those who just want positive movies out there overlook some of the basic aesthetic details. Of course, the negatives can be backlash inaccurate also. I tend to hover in the middle on the side of liking a movie where I don't cringe at the language or feel the need to apologize to others in the room.

Though made with unknowns by relative unknowns Facing the Giants impressed me. The Christian message is loud and clear so those who don't want to hear it may not appreciate the multiple mentions of Jesus in positive light. But those who expect Christian media to contain Jesus shouldn't be disappointed.

The action scenes should be real enough to entertain football lovers.

Some of the actors felt a little wooden, but the main characters were believable in their roles. I didn't expect to cry, but I teared up in more than one scene. Humor is tossed in throughout the film.

If Facing the Giants is an indicator of the quality of future films in the growing Christian film industry, families are in for some great entertainment choices.
