War Room

I don't normally write reviews but figured I'd go ahead for this one, being that this is a limited release low budget film.

The movie is about the power of prayer - It showed these themes very well.

I felt that this movie was very uplifting and encouraging, but it felt heavy emotionally and some of it was hard for me to watch. I had a headache afterwards. Not really sure why. I cried a few times. But in the end it was still a well done film.

I don't want to say too much to give away any plot points.

The acting was okay. But I've seen way way worse acting. The daughter was definitely the best actor in the movie.

The production values were pretty solid, this didn't feel like a TV movie. There were a few things that bothered me about the movie such as realism/continuity but I let it slide, because I was interested in the subject.

The only other thing about the movie that bothered me was the running time. 2 hours is long for any movie and there were times when I felt like it dragged on.

They had a low budget but not so low that they couldn't make a good looking movie. $3M was their budget according to box office mojo and it's already made $11M - not bad at all for only being out 3 days - and they've already made more than double their money back.

If you are a brother or sister in Christ then go see this movie to be encouraged to seek God more and pray more! It definitely encouraged my faith - and I pray that it will encourage you too.

War Room is a pretty good Christian movie, which is extremely hard to find! My god just watch gods not dead and you shall see. But anyways, War Room actually has good actors in it and the actors give, for the most part, good performances. The old lady in the movie delivers some absolutely hilarious lines of smart dialogue which I enjoyed. That was my favorite part of the film. The script was alright, pretty good, nothing to really brag about though. You can enjoy this movie even if you are not a religious person, you really can. Obviously religious people will probably get more out of it, but you can like it and be a non-religious person. 1 or 2 smaller actors here gave some corny performances, but the Main actors did well. 7/10 for war room, pretty good Christian film, probably the only one I know of.

This movie came out at the right moment. When the trailer first came out you could see and feel the presence of the Lord on it. This movie has been a blessing. I was so happy to see this the #1 movie out after it opened. And at the time I'm writing this movie theaters are being added! This movie is about prayer as it says in the trailer and it makes sure you know it is. There are many precious moments. Some will make you cry, laugh, and then think. It will make you re-evaluate your life. Every couple, dating or married; child and friend, Black, White, Asian, Hispanic and any other race should see this movie. It is helpful on so many levels. Those who are not Christian might not like this, but some might. So check it out while you can. There truly is power in prayer.

'WAR ROOM': Two and a Half Stars (Out of Five)

Another Christian drama flick, from the 'Kendrick Brothers'; the team that's also responsible for such previous 'worship-themed' films as 'FIREPROOF' and 'COURAGEOUS'. Alex Kendrick directed and co-wrote the movie, and Stephen Kendrick co-wrote and co-produced it. The story revolves around a couple, that turns to God; to fix their struggling marriage, with the help of an older, wiser, woman (named Miss Clara). The film was made on a budget of just $3 million, and it stars a cast of mostly unknown actors. I think it's a fairly decent Christian movie; compared to other, much worse, ones (I've seen recently).

Tony (T.C. Starling) and Elizabeth Jordan (Priscilla Shirer) seem to have it all; a nice house, two great jobs, and a polite young daughter (Alena Pitts). The couple are not happily married though, and their daughter feels resented. When Elizabeth, a realtor, attempts to sell a house, for a nice (older) lady, named Miss Clara (Karen Ambercrombie), she's inspired to renew her faith again. By doing so, Elizabeth also finds the courage to fix her troubled marriage; and save her struggling family.

The movie is filled with some cheesy dialogue, and bad acting (at times); but it also has a few good performances, and some inspiring moments (especially for those of faith). The low-budget shows, and it does feel (a lot) like a TV movie; but the film is still better than other Christian-themed flicks (that I've seen, in the past few years). It has a good message, and it's at least somewhat inspiring. Probably not something that will interest non-believers (at all); but it's target audience, should be more than pleased.

This is a very uplifting film about a wife who learns how to use prayer and faith from an older prayed up woman to put her family back together. Like most films of this genre the lesson and what a person can take from it is what the main focus is. The story line and the plot of this film are simple but the message is powerful, and I'm not saying that just because I'm a Christian. This film also illustrates how Christians are to lift up and encourage others and teach them how to have faith in GOD no matter what kind of situation that person might be going through. I encourage anyone with questionable faith to see this film. In general, even if you're not watching it for the powerful message, this is a good film to watch, simple but good.
