Fireproof

Watched this film last night while eating pizza. (Thanks mom-in-law!)

I don't think I would have made a trip to rent this film, but I'm glad I saw it.

Fireproof is the latest movie created by the producers behind Facing the Giants. It stars Kirk Cameron as a firefighter named Caleb whose marriage is crumbling.

From the very beginning, you feel the tension between Caleb and his wife. Yelling, sarcastic retorts, doors slamming.

At the office, Caleb is captain of the firehouse and the men respect him. His wife works at the hospital and has a married doctor on her heels. (please note this would be considered wrong)

Following a horrific fight, they decide to begin the divorce process. Caleb goes to his father seeking advice and gets an earful about something called The Love Dare.

Fireproof is the best movie made, by Alex Kendrick and his brother Stephen, so far. The acting still isn't quite pristine but it's better than most Christian-made films out there.

Cameron does a decent job as the lead. His "angry" voice/acting is a little unbelievable but that may be the fault of me always seeing him as Mike Seaver from Growing Pains.

All in all, Fireproof is good for any DVD collection.
