All Glory and Honor to Christ the Lord. It's that simple.
What a surprisingly rewarding film. I have not watched a film that is so engaging for a long while. And it's a powerful Christian movie. I sat there long after the credits ran which shows how powerful it is. I had never even heard of the film before and only saw it by chance at the theater's website. I am glad I came as I enjoyed every minute of it. Firing Squad is very clever depicting a prison camp realistically and giving a totally truthful example of how people can un-knowingly be sucked in by the devil in our brief lifetime. That actor who plays the warden gives the performance of a life time, he is perfectly cast opposite Kevin Sorbo who is also very impressive. The two posses an obvious chemistry. I'm so glad I'm saved and going to heaven. I recommend you see this movie ASAP especially those battling depression and anxiety. Your spirit will be lifted.

I read on Facebook how these attackers are non-stop attacking the film. Shame on them. May God judge them according to their works.
I thought the performances of everyone were magnificent: I cared about the characters and their lives on and beyond the missile approaching. Taking the time to introduce everyone and weave their stories together was masterful, even beyond the main characters.
Again INCREDIBLE ACTING
I loved how the most important thing: Jesus Christ is all that matters in the end. This is a hard-core Christian film, but it will appeal to all. Why? Because it answers the question of what if you faced minutes to live by execution?
Visually pleasing in every way, dramatic, musically astounding, great acting and above all a fantastic story make this an undeniably iconic, enduring film.
This film is one for the ages.

I highly recommend this movie. The story was well thought out although fairly complex. The acting was top notch and cinematography excellent. It really makes you think. Kevin Sorbo, the lead actor, really portrays what it would be like to go through difficult period of facing execution. James Barrington, the other main actor, really stepped up his performance as well - haven't heard of him before. It was not a short movie but I never felt like it was dragging at all. There was also a very powerful family story with Cuba Gooding's character - tremendous actor. His unrelenting faith was very encouraging.
The other big thing is that it shows the difficult life of prisoners in third world countries and I give thanks to God I'm free. I don't know if the dramatic events happen in real life but they sure portrayed them effectively.

Screening was packed. No one left,. Everyone stayed glued to the end credits. People weeping. My group from a local church loved the film. The people giving this film a '1' should be ashamed of themselves. I read that atheists are attacking this film so it might be them disguised as Christians because NO CHRISTIAN would attack this film after seeing it.
The guy attacking this film because of the woman's dress is missing the entire point of this: the film is winning thousands if not hundreds of thousands to Christ. Another guy attacking the attacking....what's wrong with these people? I understand atheists are attacking this film I droves. Please pray they come to Christ and stop what they're doing. They haven't even watched the film I think.

I avoided it and didn't go to the theater because of the heavy criticism. From the criticism I was swayed into thinking that the acting was bad, story, etc.
Boy was I wrong. What is wrong with these haters? Anyone? Why are they repeatedly attacking all Christian films.
I have just ask "what is all the fuss about?" No movie is perfect. But was there anything really bad about this movie? Was there anything really wrong about the movie? So what if the scholarly detail isn't perfect. It's good enough for an ordinary person going to the cinema who has no clue about the details.
The film team did a good job. They deserve credit.
Keep making movies. You're good at it. Don't let anyone tell you any different.
To all the haters, please get a life. Get married. Travel the world. Find a cure for cancer. Invent something amazing. But don't waste your life hating this worthy movie, the filmmakers or Jesus.
