      While the filmmaking is fairly competent, Courageous is overall worthless to anybody who doesn't subscribe to its dogmatic agenda.

      Tom Russo Boston Globe It takes a certain touch to pull it off, and here, the serviceable cast just doesn't have it in them. Rated: 2/4 Oct 3, 2011 Full Review Gary Goldstein Los Angeles Times The many topics raised - gangs, drugs, immigration, absentee parents, poverty - are examined with didacticism and platitudes instead of by mining their inherent complexities. Rated: 2/5 Oct 3, 2011 Full Review Paul Brunick New York Times Overplotted and understructured, "Courageous" is a slog to get through at 130 minutes. Rated: 2.5/5 Oct 2, 2011 Full Review Richard Propes TheIndependentCritic.com The best film yet from Sherwood Pictures. Rated: 3.5/4.0 Sep 5, 2020 Full Review Megan Basham WORLD Most of the characters are well-written and nuanced. Jun 25, 2018 Full Review Roger Moore Tribune News Service A significant step backward for those movie making preachers at Sherwood... Rated: 1.5/4 Jan 6, 2013 Full Review Read all reviews
