In 2008, Sherwood Pictures released its third film. It turned out to be the Christian project of the director and screenwriter Alex Kendrick "Fireproof" (Fireproof) created with the support of the film company Samuel Goldwyn Films. Reviews of the film "Fireproof" has polar, IMDb tape rating: 6.60.
Chronicle of the Salvation of a Failing Marriage
In the center of the narrative of the picture, the main character is the captain of the fire brigade Caleb Holt (Kirk Cameron). He is a brave and courageous person who never leaves his comrades in trouble. Every day he has to defy fate, risk himself, saving the unfortunate victims of the raging flames. Coming home, Caleb does not find comfort and support. Feelings between him and his wife Katherine (Erin Betia) have long faded. Only the love of God can help restore the former warmth in the relationship of the heroes. But the path to faith is not easy.
Criticism
In the reviews, the description of the film "Fireproof" is not replete with laudatory, extolling epithets. Film critics recognized the tape as frankly weak:moralizing literally, the images are traditionally stereotyped, the characteristics of the characters are inexpressive, the actions and actions are very predictable.
At the same time, Alex Kendrick's project paid off handsomely at the box office. With a production budget of $500,000, it grossed over $33.5 million at the box office. Fireproof is widely regarded as the most successful Christian independent film project. If we take into account that the premiere of the picture was not accompanied by a high-profile advertising campaign, then its success can be considered unique.
Audience reviews of the film "Fireproof" are less categorical than the opinion of professionals. The dissatisfaction of some reviewers was caused by the pronounced and uncompromising Christian position of the filmmakers, who call everything by its proper name: love is love, but sin is sin.
The painting has received numerous awards from evangelical organizations. Screening at the San Antonio Independent Christian Film Festival earned the project a Best Feature Film Award.

French director Xavier Jeans is an ambiguous visionary.
