maniac96 I viewed this drama many times. Some would say that Christian darmas are, well, too dramatic. But Carman blends action with comedy, drama and witnessing. As a Christian, I can tell you this movie will blow your mind. It has awesome graphics, a great soundtrack, and the best acting I've seen since "Rain Man".
Schlockmeister I guess if you dont get out much, the bright lights and big screen of a movie theatre might seem real impressive. The picture is just so big and pretty. It MUST be a good movie too, after all Christians made it, right? Wrong, in reality this is just more c**p from the televangelists at Trinity Broadcasting Network. For folks that supposedly believe in "Thou shalt no steal", they just basically ripped off "Rocky" (several of the series..) and tacked on a Christian message to justify spending people's tithe money on it. The "if he boxes he might die" storyline has been done to death, as has the retired boxer coming back for "one last fight" story. This will go straight to video and just become another "monthly gift" that they will send out "free" with donations, just like "Omega Code". Now that the hype on this movie is basically over, what other monstrosity will Matt Crouch foist upon the willing givers of TBN?
allenman This was a wonderful film, I was completely surprised on how well it was done. The story was very good, and the action scenes were much more realistic that those of the "Rocky" series. The film contained some scenes that were a little intense but it fits the real world. Wonderful job!I want to see it again, and also get the film on video.
C A The movie had great action as well as a great story. Although it did seem to jump around a little and some things weren't fully flushed out, the overall was great!I love going to movies that encourage and inspire me in my own life. It's great to see someone else having to hold onto their Faith in God's promises and even having to do things that seem impossible.It's not just a boxing movie. It's a movie about Faith and courage. Everyone should be able to find something that they like about the film.I can't wait until it's available on video so that I can own a copy!!This movie also has a great soundtrack, which I hope is available soon as well.
