Courageous

Protecting the streets is second nature to these law enforcement officers. Raising their children in a god-honouring way? That takes courage.

What the critics thought:

"The many topics raised - gangs, drugs, immigration, absentee parents, poverty - are examined with didacticism and platitudes instead of by mining their inherent complexities." - Gary Goldstein, Los Angeles Times

"Like a pastor so caught up in the moment that he can't see that the air conditioning has given out and the congregation wants to go home, the film travels far beyond its dramatic climax, aiming for an altar call finale." - Roger Moore, Orlando Sentinel

"Devolves into over-the-top drama and a suffocating heavy-handedness." - Keith Staskiewicz, Entertainment Weekly
