Courageous(2011)- User Reviews

First, don't expect Hollywood or to be wowed by famous actors, but if you want other than the norm, something with heart, this movie is for you.

Remember this movie had a very limited budget and yes, it did begin a little slow so give it a little while to warm up.

So many of today's movies are set on beating out the last great theatrical marvel. They know we hunger and thirst for excitement and entertainment, it's like a drug, we need more and better to do the trick. So Hollywood feeds our addictions, their aim is to shock us and/or thrill us, they don't care about building us up as a society or as human beings. How often do they feed our hearts and minds? It's seldom they send a message that moves us to become better than we are but this movie can and will if you let it.

If Hollywood was really smart they would realize that some of their hugest movies sales were movies that were ones without nudity, sex and vulgarity. Believe it or not, there are still people in the world that care what they feed their minds and the minds of their children and they are missing the mark marketing to these audiences.

This movie had believable characters, people that could be your next door neighbor. Even with it's low budget, it still made me smile, laugh, and cry. It also had the element of suspense in several parts, but in the end, did my heart feel moved, yes, oh yes! That's what matters the most to me and why I will continue to watch movies of this kind.
