This Brazilian remake of the 2003 faith-based American movie Flywheel has good intentions, but this drama is bogged down by bad acting and excessively sappy scenarios. The movie clumsily depicts the religious redemption of a corrupt car salesman.

Flywheel: Ignition of the Soul employs no subtlety in delivering the message that conversion of heart is only the first step in one’s spiritual journey.

3/5

Despite some of its dramatic excesses, the soul-searching at the heart of this story feels heartfelt, compelling, and refreshingly human.

A simple conversion story. What I'm looking for in a Christian faith-based film

Faith-based cinema has come a long way in the last two decades. It’s therefore disappointing to get an entry as regressive as Flywheel: Ignition of the Soul.

Heartwarming and inspirational, but sugar-coated and somewhat cheesy.

I liked this one a lot. The acting was realistic it portrayed real people with real problems, and a biblical solution.

I am a person like Noa, sometimes putting Work before anything. This Movie came to show me and understand something that I already knew but I dont want or know how to admit, the without God I have nothing. Once again Kendrick Brothers show us they are God instruments to show us Gods love.
