Flywheel is the first film from the creators of Facing the Giants and Fireproof. Used car salesman Jay Austin (writer/director Alex Kendrick) swindles his customers and teaches his assistant salesmen to do the same--but despite the profits, something gnaws at him. When he realizes that his own son doesn't respect him, Austin has a conversion and accepts God into his life. This would be the end of most spiritual stories, but Flywheel finds a warm comedy in the obstacles on the path of righteousness; Austin discovers that being right with God means grappling every day with what it means to be honest. Though the filmmaking is raw (the editing is often clumsy and the cinematography is flat), the story is well-paced, has a gently ironic sense of humor, and Kendrick's central performance is compelling. Kendrick is just as persuasive as a man struggling to emerge from a joyless life as he is when he's rediscovered his faith but finds it constantly tested. Though Flywheel is forthright about its Christian inspiration, the story is about actually living a moral life, not about abstract spiritual truths. The result is a movie that looks towards heaven, but has its feet on the earth. --Bret Fetzer
Product Description
Jay Austin wants to sell you a used car, but watch out! Many victims have fallen prey to his smiling face and hasty promises. Austin does everything his way until his dishonesty and manipulation are repeatedly exposed. Like many men, he becomes disgusted by the masks he wears and lies he tells. While having a classic convertible repaired, Austin begins a humorous and inspiring journey to win back the hearts of his wife, his son, and his community. In every man's life, there can be a turning point. When Jay Austin makes his turn, he never looks back.

 flywheel December 2, 2008
this was the third movie in this genre. I've seen Fireproof, Facing Giants and now Flywheel. Flywheel did not have the impact that the other two movies seemed to have on me. Granted it was an enjoyable movie as were they all it just didn't seem to capture my attention like the other two did.
 Must See Movie December 2, 2008
Everyone else has told you much about the movie, I would just like to say as well, this is a wonderful movie. People often think that things have to be dirty, and be loaded with cursing and sex for people to like it. The popularity of Flywheel, Facing the Giants, and now Fireproof prove that people do want to see something like these movies. Something without profanity and sex. Something that deals with real life problems and shows how you can overcome them in the Lord.
Flywheel November 25, 2008
this is a low budget movie but is an excellent tool for Christian ethics teaching . Very good for youth groups .
 Very Uplifting Movie November 25, 2008
The Movie Flywheel is a very uplifting movie. The movie is not nearly as believable as their next movie, Facing the Giants, but it is still a pretty decent movie. This is the producers/writers first attempt to do a full length movie and although the characters are not quite as strong as the ones in Facing the Giants they still provide the viewer with some good clean family entertainment.
Great message November 24, 2008
I really enjoyed Flywheel. The quality was not a good as Facing the Giants, but the message was just as powerful. I would strongly recommend this movie. It covers so many facets of life, from relationships, to ethics, to trusting and obeying God. It is very realistic.
