Variety Joe Leydon
Modestly engaging but thoroughly formulaic drama about a boxer turned preacher who returns to the ring to fund a community-outreach center.
Read Full Review >LA Weekly Nicole Campos
Drags through one tough-love moment after another without much energy or originality from its single-monikered star.
Read Full Review >Austin Chronicle Marjorie Baumgarten
Christian filmmaking has entered a new phase in which its creators have discovered how to soft-pedal their message under wraps of a conventional story.

Louanna P. gave it a 10:
I thought it was the best movie that Carman has ever done.
Amy C. gave it a 6:
I am a big Carman fan. But I have to admit I was a little dissappointed with the movie. I do commend his effort and hope he gets back into the arena of movie making.
L. R. gave it a 6:
Very good actors, fight was credible, father's memories interesting and very well done. The romance has to be improved, music was Carman's tracks (too obvious), Freddie's character has to be hardened to be more real.
Dave S. gave it an 8:
Very good Christian family movie.
