Fireproof movie review

The movie Fireproof is a Christian drama starring Kirk Cameron who plays Caleb Holt.

40 days.

life in danger to save other people, to himself he is not a bad person. Catherine works as a

hospital administrator who is overwhelmed by a full time job, house chores and a sick mother.

She feels undervalued and degraded by some of Caleb’s behavior in his private time. The two

finally reach a breaking point
