Review of Fireproof (2008) by Bens — 18 Feb 2009

I am all about making marriage work and following Jesus Christ. Unfortunately, like so many Christian-made films, it fails not because of its well-intentioned message, but because that message seems to supercede all the things that would make it a good film, like ACTING.

"The Passion of The Christ" was wonderful because it had great acting, cinematography, special effects, and so many other things which make a film memorable, and it still got its message across.

Films like "Fireproof", which sound more like tracts than stories, simply won't cut the mustard with anyone except evangelicals who are used to those kinds of films.
