Courageous Ratings & Reviews
Every Movie Has a Lesson
Don Shanahan
"Courageous" portrays real blue-collar problems and not manufactured/predictable/cynical Hollywood-style "problems" that never create pertinent uncertainty or jeopardy to their characters.
TheIndependentCritic.com
Richard Propes
The best film yet from Sherwood Pictures.
WORLD
Megan Basham
Most of the characters are well-written and nuanced.
Commercial Appeal (Memphis, TN)
John Beifuss
Nicely produced, but the converted are more likely to be impressed than the skeptical.
Spectrum (St. George, Utah)
Bruce Bennett
Dares to preach its highly controversial message in order to inspire the faithful while risking the ire of critics and non-believers. Its message? Fathers, man up.
Common Sense Media
Sandie Angulo Chen
Despite violence, Christian fatherhood drama is uplifting.
Movies.com
Dave White
Yeah, it's still a preach-to-the-choir movie, but this choir doesn't really see itself on the big screen very often, so don't begrudge them a film where the action hero cop stops and prays for guidance before big gun battle. It happens.
Filmcritic.com
Bill Gibron
Sadly, this particular Gospel is not very good.
Boston Globe
Tom Russo
It takes a certain touch to pull it off, and here, the serviceable cast just doesn't have it in them.
Los Angeles Times
Gary Goldstein
The many topics raised - gangs, drugs, immigration, absentee parents, poverty - are examined with didacticism and platitudes instead of by mining their inherent complexities.
New York Times
Paul Brunick
Overplotted and understructured, "Courageous" is a slog to get through at 130 minutes.
Entertainment Weekly
Keith Staskiewicz
Devolves into over-the-top drama and a suffocating heavy-handedness.
Village Voice
Nick Schager
Fails to answer the more pressing question of why religious sagas such as this treat subtlety as a sin.
AV Club
Nathan Rabin
Courageous literally preaches to the converted, delivering ham-fisted messages of responsibility to the most receptive audience possible.

Jackie K. Cooper
Profound without being preachy, "Courageous" never forgets to entertain
Screen It!
Jim Judy
It has some occasional rough acting, is too episodic for its own good, and could have been trimmed by a good 30 minutes. Even so, it's the group's most accomplished offering to date and that's saying something. (Movie Review for Parents also available)
The Hollywood Reporter
Frank Scheck
The performances are effective all around with director Kendrick quite moving in the central role of Adam, the veteran officer, who suffers a horrific family tragedy that sets much of the film's plot in motion.
Slant Magazine
Ed Gonzalez
Praise be to Courageous for being upfront.
BrianOrndorf.com
Brian Orndorf
A valiant effort, but Courageous is such a clumsy motion picture, incapable of delivering its critical messages without displaying some of the most cringe-inducing filmmaking of the year.
Christianity Today
Steven D. Greydanus
While the film's church-based roots and the tendency toward didactic, schematic storytelling are still in evidence, Courageous is [Sherwood's] most ambitious and watchable film to date.
