| Shadows on the WallRich ClineExtremely well-made, this film looks excellent and features strong performances from the entire cast. |
| Christianity TodayRon ReedIts message of costly sacrifice and hard-won reconciliation is at the heart of the gospel, and the fact that this story is drawn from actual events demands attention. |
| Hollywood ReporterDavid HunterAn ensemble effort that recalls other great POW movies, Wars boasts many superb performances. |
| New TimesLuke Y. ThompsonThere's so much cynical and calculated religion these days that it's nice to see, regardless of one's wartime affiliation, a traditional Christian forgiveness that really does have the power to redeem. |
| WORLD Megan BashamGodawa and director David Cunningham don't fall back on paint-by-numbers transformation. |
| Honolulu Star-AdvertiserBurl BurlingameWill be well-received on Sunday-school movie night at church, particularly during group discussions afterward. For the rest of us, alas, it doesn't quite hang together. |
| Filmcritic.comDavid Thomasthe unoriginal presentation, which often favors hitting us over the head when restraint would be far more enticing, leaves much to be desired |
| User ReviewJason CThis is seriously one of the best war films i've ever seen, actually showing the reality of war! All the actors give brilliant performances as well! It still moves me everytime I watch it! |

If more Christians understood the gospel this well secular liberals wouldn't be able to rightly belittle Western Christianity. |
| User ReviewNathaniel PGreat! I would need to see it again to do it justice in a review |
