CFDb Film Review

If you saw “Cutback“, then “Hardflip” will be a favorite for you as well.  The movies are quite similar, and yet different as well!  One thing I really liked about Hardflip was that there were 2 unique ways of presenting the Gospel that I’ve never seen before in any other movie.  I can’t describe it too well as it would be a spoiler for the movie. I will say that with the one scene I talked about it afterwards how it was so unique and wonderful!  I really enjoyed that!.
