FIREPROOF Review

Fireproof was fantastic.

I am a Christian and have led a Christian movie night at our church for about a year. In the process I have found how few good choices there are available to us that are actually faith based and not just stamped suitable because it lacks cursing and nudity, or it's about doing a good thing. Without the glory being given to God and the display of a faith based life, to me it's not worth backing it and telling other Christians that it's worth the time. One of the very few acceptions were the productions by Sherwood Films - Flywheel, Facing the Giants, and now Fireproof. They have gotten better and better with each production. This one far acceeds the previous two efforts (that were both quite good). And to see that the film is having such a widespread showing, receiving acclaim, affecting relationships, and bringing people to the Lord is beyond wonderful! This is truely a blessed production.

The acting in this film is much better than the previous movies produced by this company, though the content of their films has always been so Godly and inspiring that this was not a major factor in the past. There are action sequences that actually had me on the edge of my seat. And the couple's struggles are very realistic and portray many of the same battles faced in modern relationships today. I'd recommend it to anyone--in fact, I'd be confident to recommend any of the Sherwood films from here out as God-centered before even seeing them because that is the phenominal reputation that this company has built.
