Review by bkoganbing

The War Within looks like a Varvel family project. Star Michael Varvel plays our protagonist lead a syndicated cartoonist who is having a nice war inside himself. Varvel also plays one of the inner characters called Heart. Various other Varvel family members play other aspects of the inner being conscience, will, emotion, etc. More properly the heart should have been called the soul. I suspect it was to get other than Christian audiences interested.

The war going on concerns Varvel's faith which is in jeopardy after the death of his and Rebecca Reid's daughter. At issue in the marriage is Reid's lack of faith, she never goes to church with husband and daughter.

I was impressed with the film with the amateurish special effects I wasn't expecting anything of Hollywood quality. The acting of this cast of Varvels and other unknowns wasn't bad all things considered. But I have to say the message of what God got in the way of sacrifice to save someone's soul was off putting to say the least.

I think non-believers will agree.
