The Firing Squad (review)


Summer heat brings the perfect time of year to explore new movies!  I just watched The Firing Squad, which was based on a true story that happened in 2015.  This movie is about drug dealers in Indonesia who turn into Christians while imprisoned.  These men were facing the death penalty by firing squad for being caught, and the movie is very realistic and somewhat graphic (I would not recommend it for young children).

This movie told a great story of redemption and seeing how God can change people from the worst situations once they know Christ.   The ripple effect of one person knowing Christ can be immeasurable as it filters out to those around them.  This would be a great movie for teenagers and young adults to watch, especially as a youth group activity. 

The movie stars James Barrington, Kevin Sorbo (“God’s Not Dead”, “Let There Be Light”), and Cuba Gooding, Jr. and is supported by the Marketing Teams behind 'The Passion of the Christ', 'Son of God', 'Sound of Freedom.'

The Firing Squad releases in theaters nationwide on August 2nd.  See when it's coming to a theater near you by visiting The Firing Squad website.
