The Firing Squad absolutely murders any chance of being a well-made film. This atrocious faith-based drama, which is mainly set in an Indonesian prison, has an onslaught of terrible acting, fake-looking scenarios, and cringeworthy dialogue.

An earnest faith-based movie on a mission, this powerful, inspirational story occasionally misfires on connecting with viewers authentically.

Great story, but poor acting, and execution made it comical, which was definitely not the intention

My wife and I thought this was a terrific movie. The acting wasn't up to a blockbuster standard, but the content and message of the film was moving and inspiring. We highly recommend it.

The premise and message behind the movie was very good, but the acting was bad, with the exception of two actors. The writing and directing was also pretty bad, almost like a high school play.

Bring your Kleenex! This is a real tearjerker and heart changer! And the fact that it was a true story is even more impactful! Believer or unbeliever, you will walk out of this movie changed! Don't miss it!

Great story! A few good actors. But very B class movie. Just expect that and enjoy the story. Not exactly all the hype it was given before release.
