Reception
Upon its release, the film received universally negative reviews from critics.

Its score at the aggregator website Metacritic, based on 5 reviews, is 11 out of 100, indicating "overwhelming dislike". Michael O'Sullivan of The Washington Post said it was "preaching to the choir". In addition, Mark Feeney of the Boston Globe stated that, "The problem with this numbskull travesty isn't that it's fatuous and smug (which it is). It's that it's slack and dull." Robert Abele of the Los Angeles Times said of the fim, "The patriot-packaged "Last Ounce of Courage" has been made with the conviction of true zealots, but also the competence of amateurs.". 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."
