War Room

I just watched this movie! As someone said, it exceeded expectations, and that on a laptop. As far as the truth, from a negative side, I sincerely believe that there are few Christians, and I don't go to church because there are few there. This movie was not realistic in that sense. The Antichrist is most surely coming, and I'd say, coming soon; and many who call themselves religious, will be completely taken in; that is obvious! There were biblical problems that would generally go unnoticed or unreported. "Clara," Karen Abercrombie, that taught "Liz," Priscilla Shirer, kept shouting at the beginning; I did not like that at all: One reviewer said, "overacting"; that for sure, and annoying. By the end this very "Clara" was convincing and sounded good, by my count. There was some mediocre acting at best; but most of the acting was either good, or excellent! On a positive note, as I said, most of the acting was above-par. The story was superlative, for: It showed all sin, and the nastiness of sin in the husband and father "Tony," T.C. Stallings; the positivity of Christian prayer, and love; the hard side of life; and what seemed to be natural reactions, especially in T.C. Stallings as the formerly "jerk" husband. Alex Kendrick did some excellent acting, and quite realistic--He is an excellent actor, at least! He was great for his short screen-time, this fact being appropriate and appreciated since he was the writer and producer, and had starred in another of his films. What superlative and human writing!! He acted, with a little more heart than most bosses, as the professional he was playing, calculating, as he was supposed to act as a big-time boss. Alena Pitts, "Danielle," did especially good acting for her obvious youth as the daughter. "Liz" went through real problems, as the main character. She showed how to be loving to a difficult spouse. "Tony," on the other hand, who completely turned around and became loving toward his wife and daughter, was a major jerk at the beginning. "Tony" had a breakthrough point that was very touching and masculine, questioning why "Liz" would treat her well; as did "Liz." Good acting, for sure, on the part of Shirer and Stallings with this. As far as Pitts, she did some excellent acting as "Danielle" when confronting her mother, "Liz," Shirer, about her coach, the name of her team, the team's colors: None of which "Liz" knew! The mutual heartbreak of the mother and "Danielle" was touching and revealing. Despite contrary claims, it was obvious at the beginning of the movie that almost no one loved or cared about the others. You'd have to see the end. As a Christian of almost 30 years, I'd say, yes,...as one commenter said, things don't progress and clear up, with God or with such problems, IN REAL LIFE!; however, I would say, it's a movie, and you don't want the characters to age 20 years before everything comes together, do you? I will say I was surprised by the movie and the story. That's all I will say,...SO YOU ENJOY IT. It's a two-hour movie. You really shouldn't get bored. It is THE BEST religious movie I've ever seen. Now, take into account that I am well-above 40. Those not of a faith-claim will reasonably, possibly, dislike the film, or not cheer it as I did. I saw Alex Kendrick in "Overcomer," and highly recommend that movie as well, for those considering it. This was better than that, but the other is good. If you like biblical or religious movies, I'd say this qualifies as quite enjoyable and emotional, without being too sappy. Please don't give a minute's thought to the critics; they are quite wrong.

Excellent movie. The Kendrick Brothers make good movies. This movie is not based on a true story, nor is it a characterization of true to life events. It was a clean movie meant for family audiences. The thing I got out of this movie was how to pray specifically for others and how to set up a space to prevent distractions, (easy for me to get distracted).

Great movie, great condition, no issues with playing it! This is an awesome movie about creating a prayer closet and creating a greater walk with God and the power of prayer!

GR8 product, Recommend to all.

Excellent movie!!! Will definitely watch again!!

First: Here's the only (minor) flaw in the movie: There are tiny moments when the script feels stilted, primarily because the actors usually speak clearly and separately, without much talking over each other, interrupting, natural fumbling, etc. (Script writers: for next time, watch carefully the masterful background dialogue in "It's a Wonderful Life") The producers clearly wanted the message to come across plainly, which they accomplish beautifully. However, the movie is still a joy to watch. The male lead is a superb actor, and the female lead beautiful and likable, the daughter darling. My kids (ages 7-14) all sat through it multiple times and loved it. What's more, they all could clearly understand the details, without my supplementing with a lot of explanation. But this movie is for every adult, no matter how wonderful and happy your own marriage. We're all touched by the themes of conflict and honesty. This movie has plenty of real conflict that will resonate with every viewer as well as a yearning for God's involvement in our families. I'm a Mormon, and I wholeheartedly wish this film would go far beyond the traditional evangelical audience to people of all faiths. It is powerfully relevant to us all! I have recommended this movie to everyone I know because it is so deeply moving. The best part of the movie is that it doesn't just show a repentant father, complete with masterful confessions. It shows the JOY afterward. This movie shows the FRUITS of righteous living. So many movies end with the change of heart, but they don't let you rejoice in the happy times that come later. Or they end when the couple come together, but don't let you enjoy the following romance for more than 2-3 final moments. This one is different. There's so much happiness at the end that you feel the glory of God in it.

Amazing and very inspirational I am going to make a Prayer war room Thanks so much for sharing Tzedeck

Wonderful movie. If you have not seen it, you should!

I was amazed by this testimony, which I will attempt to put into practice.

クリスチャンの方々には、ぜひ、みていただきたい映画です。 このDVDはまだ日本語の字幕がないものかもしれませんが、英語がわかる人にはさらに、内容がよくわかって感動することでしょう。 クリスチャンが、パワフルに生きていないと思われるこの日本で、この映画を通して 祈りによって、まず自分自身と戦っていないことを知るでしょう。 日本ならば、押し入れ‼ そこを祈りのちから、WAR ROOM として場所を定め、聖別して祈り始めるなら、私たちが神様のちからによって、家族を、まわりの人々を幸せに導くことができると思います。 特にクリスチャンにおすすめします❗

bon film

I have watched this movie several times and bought copies for friends and family. There's a lot of good to unravel
