With an ever-increasing sense of disconnect between them and their children, these four men strive to maintain God's promise to "turn the hearts of fathers to their children, and the hearts of children to their fathers."

Press Reviews

A.V. Club (USA)

Courageous literally preaches to the converted, delivering ham-fisted messages of responsibility to the most receptive audience possible. Full review.

Hollywood Reporter

Courageous reveals the duo's growing expertise as filmmakers with its skillful blending of moving drama, subtle comedy and several impressive action sequences, including a well-staged foot chase and a harrowing shootout between the cops and bad guys. Full review.

Los Angeles Times

Courageous, proves a particularly clunky, tunnel-visioned vehicle whose overbearing, overlong script nearly smothers the movie's quibble-free message. Full review.

New York Times

For now, though, Mr. Kendrick will have to settle for being a good enough filmmaker, content to preach to the choir. Full review.

Variety (USA)

Moviegoers devoted to faith-based fare will flock to megaplexes for Courageous, easily the most polished production so far from brothers Alex and Stephen Kendrick, the prolific and increasingly accomplished filmmaking pastors at the Sherwood Church of Albany, Ga. Full review.
