FIREPROOF, is both inspiring and entertaining. It is one thing to go to a movie to offer support to well-meaning film makers, but it another matter to be entertained. Produced and written by the Baptist church in Georgia, this production exceeds its previous cinematic effort in Facing the Giants. Alex Kendrick, who wrote and starred in Facing the Giants, wrote Fireproof and played a small cameo role. Kirk Cameron starred in this one, and did an outstanding job. There were few awkward wooden moments in their newest effort, and I suspect that the financial success of its predecessor bankrolled a first class effort for Fireproof, which included getting acting talent who gave performances that made you believe their characters. There were also well-done action sequences that heightened the intensity of the story. If I had any criticism, it would be the presence of a lot of chubby firemen, but their characters served as well-written and acted comic relief. Kudos, however, are due Alex Kendrick and his film editor. His writing was outstanding, and the film editing was first rate. Lastly, and most importantly, the Gospel was clearly and unashamedly presented.

I could go on critiquing various elements of FIREPROOF, but the bottom line is this: go see this movie while it is in the theatre. It is worthy of your entertainment dollar.
