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 had heard this movie was really good, so I went to see it this past weekend. So glad I made it!
This film is full of tension, as the story unfolds, and you cannot help but feel for the main characters, even if they had no one to blame but themselves for getting into the predicament they are in.
I am a huge Kevin Sorbo fan, but I was surprised to see Cuba Gooding Jr. In this picture as well! Both actors are excellent playing their characters, as you would expect, and the young star James Barrington was quite good in his role as well. I haven't seen him before, but I'm sure he will pop up in future films. He is very talented.
But I think the actor who steals the spotlight from everyone is Tupua Ainuii, who plays the character of the prison warden Captain Tanu. I don't think you could have picked a better actor for that role. He looks similar in size to Dwayne "The Rock" Johnson, and has similar acting chops.
A very powerful, convicting, faith-based movie, and the title is misleading. The film is really about forgiveness, hope, mercy, and ultimately redemption.

I was fortunate enough to see this movie with friends twice. Both times my friends were moved and wanted to talk how the movie had moved them. It deepened their beliefs and wants to open up more to their Christian needs and beliefs. We have had many discussions at church, over coffee and dinner.
I think that this movie uses its story line to enhance nonbelievers into becoming believers. It also starts people on the course to search life and Christianity for guidance and peace. This film deters Satan's control on people and opens doors to a life with meaning, guidance, peace, purpose, and joy for ones life. Watch it often.

The lead actor is believable, the prison warden not so much except at the end. Great story. I found myself thinking about the movie for several days after. That speaks to the power of the message that Jesus truly transforms people's hearts, priorities, and behaviors, no matter that they've done bad things in life. I would have scored it higher but some of the acting seemed flat and the videography didn't wow, probably reflecting the tight budget for an initial film from a new studio. I'm looking forward to what Epoch Times will produce next and hoping that this first foray is successful and attracts many more investors with deep pockets for future projects.
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.
