Admirable film.

Actress is magnificent and exudes a hypnotic screen presence in this affecting drama.

A terrific literary drama and character piece that shows how the process of creating art can be seen differently by those doing it and those looking at it from the outside.

A clunky actioner with a handful of cool moments.

Its a shame that this film has been negatively criticized the way it has been. This just demonstrates that some wish to close off their ears and not wish to hear the message behind the film. Its not the acting that should matter but the message itself. Its sad that in a world where there is so much hurting, some people do not wish to turn to prayer. It is perhaps the one thing that we need more than anything else.This movie should not solely target Christians but more especially it should reach non-Christians. I think that was the main purpose behind making this film. Its terribly sad that the world nowadays no longer wants to turn their eyes to the maker. They just want to turn to things that will not help them spiritually. I know who I am in the eyes of my maker and I will not waste an opportunity criticizing this film. Of course, there may have been one or two things that were not perfect about it but should not mean that we should ignore the underlying message behind it. What the world needs now more than ever is to repent and turn their eyes towards Jesus. I pray that film should not simply be a tool for criticism but it should reach those that are lost and continuing to hurt out there. I wish to reiterate that its not acting that counts but the message itself.

The new Kendrick Brothers' film "The War Room" is a humor-filled Christian movie that provides the inspiration message of the power of prayer. It stars first-time actress in Priscilla Shirer,who happens to be a Christian preacher, together with former football player-turned actor,T.C. Stallings.The story primarily deals with the husband-and-wife Elizabeth and Tony Jordan,who works as real estate agent and pharmaceutical salesman,that are currently undergoing marital problems.Tony is introduced to be verbally abusive husband particularly to his wife and works a lot to the point of not spending much time with his his child Danielle.Then,Elizabeth deals with a client named Clara in one of her house sales.Clara introduces to Elizabeth having a closet room wherein he spends time with God in prayer and tells her the importance of having a relationship with God.Elizabeth takes this message and begins to form a closet room of her own at her own and she starts doing her prayers as well as having a relationship with God in order to save their marriage and to address her marital difficulties particularly her relationship with Tony.Things begin to change in the process that made Tony become a better person both as a husband and a father.The End!!!No question that it definitely provides the viewer an inspiration message of prayer and having a relationship with God.The movie tells the viewer that prayer is extremely necessary in times of trials and challenges.This will turn off some viewers particularly non-Christians and people who do not believe in the power of prayer.These same people may view the transformation of Tony as unrealistic considering that he changed simply from being verbally abusive and adulterous to becoming a loving husband as well as a caring father only through the prayers that Elizabeth and Clara have made in their respective closet rooms.These same viewers want to see more such as Tony and Elizabeth go through marriage counseling and numerous dialogues to commit to their marriage.To them,prayer wound not be the simple solution to their marital problems and difficulties.Besides,was prayer enough too to make Elizabeth a more understanding wife?Being a Christian,I personally believe that prayer is an effective spiritual weapon.No question that lifting our personal battles to God is already a lot through prayer.Fellow Christians like me will definitely appreciate it.They will be inspired to pray and check their own relationship with God.It will also give them hope especially in tough and challenging times.Just what I have stated,prayer is a powerful spiritual weapon that may take care of our problems even worse than what Elizabeth was facing in this movie.It will also renew their trust and faith in God.

This is such a POWER packed movie! I smiled, laughed, cried & worshiped GOD right in the movie theater. From beginning to end, I thoroughly enjoyed this movie. This is a movie that I can watch over & over again and never get tired of it. From the producers of the movie to the actors & actresses, this was very well written & played. I applaud you all, kudos to you! There should be more Christian, GOD fearing movies like this that inspires, encourages, convicts and changes people's lives. I will FOREVER be changed by this movie, I will NEVER be the same again! All Glory be to GOD!!!

For those of you who don't know (because the title of this "film" is pretty misleading) this movie doesn't have anything to do with war, militar codebreaking or something like that. This is a faith-based movie, just for those who pray every day. I'm not kidding, this movie would be awful even for standard believers. I was ten minutes in and I knew I wasn't going to like it. Not only all the characters believe in God and they feel the need of saying they christians all the time, but the message the movie delivers is awful. Do you have problems of any kind? Well, you don't have to do anything. Just sit in an small room and pray, because you don't have the will or power to do anything, is not your responsibility. God will fix it for you if you pray every day. It might sound hilarious but that's the message.Now, even if the message was terrible, the movie could've had something good from a technical point of view. Don't expect that. Not only this seems like a very low-budget movie, but the acting is freaking terrible. The script is one of the worst I've seen in years. The conversations are not only cheesy, there are conversations that would never happen in real life. The old lady who starts to talk about God and asks our protagonists how many times does she pray per day, do you think that would happen in real life? Hell, no. I couldn't stop laughing when the protagonist just tells the old lady everything that's going on with his life. I guess the old lady was some kind of therapist, right?The direction is awful, there's no only one single good shot. You have some jokes here and there but none of them actually hits because you'd probably be sleeping already. It doesn't have any inspiring moment, not even one. Loud-epic music in some moments when people were just talking was totally out of place and show me what this movie was: a mess. But not only a mess: a mess with twisted morals trying to convince you of getting down on your knees and do nothing when things get difficult. If you're feeling what you want to do in life is get inside a room to avoid your responsibilities and your problems, just waiting for them to fix themselves, then this is a must-watch for you. Also, if you keep repeating yourself "I'm Christian and I'm right, all the rest, wrong" then this is the movie for you, but its message it's so terrible that I wouldn't even recommend it to christians. For the rest of the people in the planet, avoid at all costs. It isn't even funny because it tries to hit you in the head with its message so hard that you can't take it anymore. Did I mentioned there's a scene in which the old lady is about to be robbed by a mugger and she stops him by saying "put that knife down in the name of Jesus"? Well, that might be the best scene of the movie. You can watch just that scene if you want to laugh for a while.Seriously, don't watch it. It wouldn't even work if you pretend you're watching a fantasy film located in a fantasy universe. Atrocius in every sense, it only qualifies as a movie because it was recorded with a camera.
