Firing Squad is more than just a film; it's a profound exploration of the human spirit and the transformative power of faith. This cinematic masterpiece weaves together a compelling narrative with visuals and unforgettable characters, creating a truly immersive experience.
What sets this film apart is its ability to resonate with audiences on a deeply personal level. The story, rooted in our sinful nature, delves into the complexities of finding hope in the face of death with both sensitivity and conviction. The characters are richly developed, their struggles and triumphs feeling authentic and relatable.
The performances are nothing short of extraordinary. The singing of Amazing Grace deliver powerhouse portrayals that leave a lasting impact. Their chemistry on screen is palpable, drawing the audience into the heart of the story.
The score is equally impressive, complementing the scenes perfectly and elevating the overall viewing experience.
But it is the film's exploration of faith that truly sets it apart. It doesn't preach or proselytize; instead, it invites viewers to contemplate their own beliefs and values. The portrayal of faith is both honest and inspiring, offering hope and encouragement without being overly sentimental.
The Firing Squad is a film that challenges, provokes, and ultimately inspires. It is a testament to the enduring power of faith and the possibility of redemption in the darkest of places. This is not merely a film; it's a spiritual experience that will leave a lasting impact on viewers.

'The Firing Squad' is in the top 10 of my favorite faith-based movies. It really is a tremendous uplifting film that leaves you in tears from the very beginning to the very end. And it's all attributed to God. Kudos to Kevin Sorbo, Eric Roberts, James Barrington and the entire cast for being in the film and giving terrific performances.
The acting is really pretty good - there's no Brad Pitt here, but there is plenty of heart and soul from the entire cast. Hard to believe a movie with this much drama, acting and pathos was created with only a small budget! It is not only entertaining and funny but didactic as well. Don't miss this one - do it for yourself - do it for God!

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.

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.

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.
