Review of The Case for Christ (2007) by Dann M — 25 Jun 2018
The Case for Christ is the fascinating true story about how an atheist's quest to disprove Christianity led him to the Lord. When his wife converts to Christianity after their daughter is saved from choking to death, investigative journalist Lee Strobel attempts to break her free by disproving Christ's resurrection, but he soon finds it to be harder to do than he expected.
Erika Christensen and Mike Vogel are surprisingly good as Leslie and Lee Strobel, and the rest of the cast is pretty decent as well. And the writing does an impressive job at explaining the evidence in support of Christ's resurrection without getting too preachy or coming off as information dumps.
Additionally, the film never loses sight of the character drama; staying focused on the Strobels and how they both struggle with the changes that Leslie's spiritual awakening has brought on. It's a little cheesy and melodramatic at times, but overall The Case for Christ is an inspirational film about the power of faith and prayer.
