To me, this movie is perfection.

Simple and well acted, it has tension enough to knot the stomach.

The film creates a perfect balance between action and depth of basic needs, in the midst of an infertile atmosphere.

The film may be flawed, but its message is not.

This review contains some plot points, but the film is not really plot driven per se.The movie opens with a narration by Miss Clara (Karen Abercrombie). Her husband, who had worked in a war room had died. She creates a prayer closet which she calls her "war room." Tony (T.C. Stallings) and Elizabeth (Priscilla C. Shirer) have martial problems. Elizabeth is a real estate agent who is selling Miss Clara's home. Clara has decided to take Elizabeth under her wing.I don't need to go any further at this point. You pretty much know the rest as God answers all prayers to those who know how to prayer correctly according to the Bible. There are themes of "paying it forward" and that "God is in control."The film is inspirational and my African-American friends thought if I watched this film, I would become a believer. My sister believes if everyone listens to country music, America would be great. This is another re-invent Christianity production complete with a church campaign kit, just like "Do You Believe" where a pastor ponders the cross for the first time in his life... and please buy the church kit which always give me mixed feelings on people profiting off the Bible.The end of the film closes with a prayer for America, while having good intentions and being inspirational, doesn't leave much room for religious diversity. 5 stars as a spiritual film.

The new Kendrick Brothers' film "The War Room" is a humor-filled Christian movie that provides the inspiration message of the power of prayer. It stars first-time actress in Priscilla Shirer,who happens to be a Christian preacher, together with former football player-turned actor,T.C. Stallings.The story primarily deals with the husband-and-wife Elizabeth and Tony Jordan,who works as real estate agent and pharmaceutical salesman,that are currently undergoing marital problems.Tony is introduced to be verbally abusive husband particularly to his wife and works a lot to the point of not spending much time with his his child Danielle.Then,Elizabeth deals with a client named Clara in one of her house sales.Clara introduces to Elizabeth having a closet room wherein he spends time with God in prayer and tells her the importance of having a relationship with God.Elizabeth takes this message and begins to form a closet room of her own at her own and she starts doing her prayers as well as having a relationship with God in order to save their marriage and to address her marital difficulties particularly her relationship with Tony.Things begin to change in the process that made Tony become a better person both as a husband and a father.The End!!!No question that it definitely provides the viewer an inspiration message of prayer and having a relationship with God.The movie tells the viewer that prayer is extremely necessary in times of trials and challenges.This will turn off some viewers particularly non-Christians and people who do not believe in the power of prayer.These same people may view the transformation of Tony as unrealistic considering that he changed simply from being verbally abusive and adulterous to becoming a loving husband as well as a caring father only through the prayers that Elizabeth and Clara have made in their respective closet rooms.These same viewers want to see more such as Tony and Elizabeth go through marriage counseling and numerous dialogues to commit to their marriage.To them,prayer wound not be the simple solution to their marital problems and difficulties.Besides,was prayer enough too to make Elizabeth a more understanding wife?Being a Christian,I personally believe that prayer is an effective spiritual weapon.No question that lifting our personal battles to God is already a lot through prayer.Fellow Christians like me will definitely appreciate it.They will be inspired to pray and check their own relationship with God.It will also give them hope especially in tough and challenging times.Just what I have stated,prayer is a powerful spiritual weapon that may take care of our problems even worse than what Elizabeth was facing in this movie.It will also renew their trust and faith in God.

The whole movie is riddled with bad effects, lines and even worse acting. Some parts of the acting are soo bad I literally cringed in my seat, it was a burden to sit through this movie with my family. The directer seems to have assumed they could cut every corner by throwing an "amen" or an "praise Jesus" here and there. They are trying to make a quick buck on peoples beliefs. My sister refused to talk about the shitty parts or even acknowledge they existed because she is so religious. I guess the directer got their wish...

Absolutely the best movie I have seen in years. Prayer is such an important subject and nothing illustrates that more beautifully than this movie . The acting was outstanding. We could all use an uplifting movie without Hollywood gimmicks. No car chases, no murders, no sex scenes..how refreshing. Sometimes I think they only make movies for teenagers now. We know being a Christian is not a very popular thing to be for this generation. Most movies make fun of Christianity but this movie shows there is another way to live, these characters illustrated how God can fix our lives if we would but learn how to communicate with Him.. This is a pure plot with wonderfully drawn characters. I can't wait to see it again. LOVED it
