Last Ounce of Courage

Bob Revere (Marshall R. Teague Armageddon, The Rock, Road House), is a former soldier and hero who fought in the Vietnam war. He is now the mayor of in a small town that is slowly becoming more secular.

Bob used to be passionate about service and a defender of the right to be an American. However, after the loss of his son during a battle against terrorists, he also lost his will to fight.

His grandson and daughter in law have moved in, trying to stay connected with their family. Even though his son's family is moving on, Bob's anguish keeps him distant, not wanting to be reminded of his loss.

It's Christmas and the town has decided to outlaw any religious reference to the meaning of Christmas and insists on using "holidays" to describe the season. So much is changing on Bob's watch since he lost his son and desire to fight for what is right.

Bob's grandson, Christian, (Hunter Gomez) is not easily put off by his distant grandfather. With or without his help, Christian is going to fight against the rules and stand up for the right to celebrate the true meaning of Christian and the rights of citizens to do so.

His challenge wakes up Bob, who begins to take action. He dusts off the Harely Davidson motor cycle, flies the flag and begins to exercise his rights as an American and Christian.

Last Ounce of Courage is rated PG. It does have war violence and war flashback scenes. There are also scenes of anguish as parents learn of the loss of their children.

However the movie does debate the hot topic of religion and government and helps the viewer ponder and decide their own decisions.

How will the town react? What will be the impact as lawyers and activists arrive, threatening legal action? Will Bob show love to his daughter in law and grandson?
