Fireproof - movie review


This weekend my wife and I went to see "Fireproof", the movie from the guys who made "Facing the Giants." I was floored by this movie, it's really good. Fireproof is well written and acted. It is funny with romance and some pretty intense parts as this young couple tries to decide whether to end their young marriage or not. Kirk Cameron of Way of the Master plays the part of Caleb Holt, a frustrated fire fighter whose marriage is falling apart. This role shows us a not-so-nice side of Kirk that was good to see he could pull it off. The movie even deals with the difficult subject of pornography. There is a strong gospel presentation from Harris Malcolm who plays Kirk's father. I really liked Mr. Malcolm's character, very strong presence. Overall, this movie glorifies Jesus Christ our savior in such a way I almost had to ask if I was dreaming seeing a movie like this in the local movie theater.

I want to stress this is a good movie. I rarely go out to see movies because we all know what the majority of it is these days. But when I do see a movie I am very critical so I was very much pleased to have been entertained and enlightened by this one. Please consider going out and supporting it.
