It has been an absolute delight to watch the development of both the acting skills and the quality improvement of the films done by Sherwood Pictures. 'Courageous' their fourth film, begins with a car theft, a chase scene and a 'Oh, my' moment.
The movie centers around four police officers and a construction worker, each of whom discover the importance of being not just a father, but also a husband. There are funny moments, like tossing plastic bottles into a trash can, moments which bring the audience to tears due to a tragedy, and those where one can't help but cheer with the victories won.
One interesting side note is the two tie-ins done with their previous film 'Fireproof'. The first, driving by the fire station and the second the news broadcast covered on the TV the main character, played by Alex Kendrik, is watching.
'Courageous' is highly recommended and has already has won a Dove award for family viewing.
Also recommended is the novelization done by Randy Alcorn, which fills in those missing gaps in the film and brings back some of characters met in 'Fireproof' and 'Facing the Giants'.
Also suggest picking up the soundtrack with songs by well known artists, Casting Crowns, Mark Harris, Third Day and many more. This is also their first film using a full orchestra.
