Movie Reviews of Facing the Giants

Movie Review: More sermon than movie
Summary: 1 Stars

FACING THE GIANTS is not some realistic movie that decides to be uncompromising, offer no easy answers, or portray God in a respectable light. Rather this movie decides to be predictable, horrifically cheesy, and portray God as a genie in a bottle who with the nod of his head will make all your dreams come true. I'm not going to bash on the acting, directing, and writing because that would be too obvious and everyone else has already done that. I just hate to see a Christian-based movie give audiences the idea that if you believe in Jesus then everything will work out for you. My advice is to watch another Christian-based movie called END OF THE SPEAR. It tells the true story of five missionaries who attempt to witness to some natives in the jungles of Ecuador but are murdered in the process. It goes on to detail the lives of the martyrs' families, friends, and even the natives responsible for their murders. I think because the movie is based on real events, it has more of an impact. Needless to say the final moments are pretty breathtaking. I think all Christian films need to based on true stories because judging by this film) average human beings are not capable of writing engaging stories with a Christian message. This is a film that is much more poignant and uncompromising than this insipid soap-opera because it shows that even if you believe in Jesus, you still have to come face to face with the harshness of reality. That, to me, is something that Jesus would want to share with the world: Though this world is cruel and challenging, He will be by your side forever whether or not you believe in Him. So to sum up, skip this movie. Rent END OF THE SPEAR instead. Well worth the time and money. Good night and God bless.

Summary of Facing the Giants

In six years of coaching, Grant Taylor has never led his Shiloh Eagles to a winning season. After learning that he and his wife Brooke face infertility, Grant discovers that a group of fathers are secretly organizing to have him dismissed as head coach. Devastated by his circumstances, he cries out to God in desperation. When Grant receives a message from an unexpected visitor, he searches for a stronger purpose for his football team. He dares to challenge his players to believe God for the impossible on and off the field. When faced with unbelievable odds, the Eagles must step up to their greatest test of strength and courage.
