Critical reception
Last Ounce of Courage was universally panned by film critics.[3] On the review aggregator website Rotten Tomatoes, 0% of 16 critics' reviews are positive.[4] Metacritic, which uses a weighted average, assigned the film a score of 11 out of 100, based on five critics, indicating "overwhelming dislike".[3] As The Washington Post puts it, "Its effectiveness depends entirely on the degree to which you already believe its talking points."[5] Actor and activist Chuck Norris said of the film, "It was an easy choice to endorse this film because its message is consistent with my life principles and core values."[6]
Michael O'Sullivan of The Washington Post said it was "preaching to the choir".[5] Robert Abele of the Los Angeles Times said of the film, "The patriot-packaged Last Ounce of Courage has been made with the conviction of true zealots, but also the competence of amateurs."[7] In contrast, Movieguide, a conservative Christian film review site, says of the film, "Last Ounce of Courage ends on several positive notes that make it recommended viewing for everyone."[8]
