I'd been very excited about this film for so long. I loved Fireproof and had read about this new release from the same stable on so many blogs. At last it came to the UK on DVD and I got my copy immediately. But then we were so busy that we didn't have time until this Saturday night to watch it, but it was totally worth the wait! Courageous is well done, the acting is generally good, it has action, tear jerking moments and characters that can be related too.
At the heart of the film is the message of men standing up to their duties, of being real fathers to their children, husbands to their wives, a message so essential in our society today. The back of the box states "When a tragedy strikes close to home, four police officers struggle with their faith and their roles as husbands and fathers; together they make a decision that will change all of their lives." Unlike Facing Your Giants, where pretty much all trials ceased following conversion, this film shows the fact that people will fail and that because you are a Christian doesn't mean you are immune from lifes trials.
I feel that this is a must see film for everyone- if men really took it's message on board and truly committed to the verse "As for me and my house we will serve the Lord" Joshua 24:15, imagine the changes that could be seen in our society.
