Entertainment Reviews:
Rating: 2/5 --
The many topics raised - gangs, drugs, immigration, absentee parents, poverty - are examined with didacticism and platitudes instead of by mining their inherent complexities.

Yeah, it's still a preach-to-the-choir movie, but this choir doesn't really see itself on the big screen very often, so don't begrudge them a film where the action hero cop stops and prays for guidance before big gun battle. It happens.

Rating: B+ --
Dares to preach its highly controversial message in order to inspire the faithful while risking the ire of critics and non-believers. Its message? Fathers, man up.

Overplotted and understructured, "Courageous" is a slog to get through at 130 minutes.

Rating: C --
Devolves into over-the-top drama and a suffocating heavy-handedness.

Fails to answer the more pressing question of why religious sagas such as this treat subtlety as a sin.

Despite violence, Christian fatherhood drama is uplifting.

Product Description:
Four police officers attempt to put their faith in God after a sudden and unexpected tragedy transforms their lives forever. Produced by Sherwood Pictures, the Christian production company behind such popular films as FIREPROOF and FACING THE GIANTS, COURAGEOUS follows dedicated cops Adam Mitchell and Nathan Hayes as they work with their partners to keep the streets safe. But when these devoted peacekeepers face the challenge of fatherhood, both their faith and devotion to family are put to the ultimate test. In the aftermath of a devastating calamity, they are faced with a difficult choice that will ultimately come to define their lives. Fortunately, a wise mentor appears to help them understand that man's ambition and God's will aren't always in perfect harmony.
