As The Washington Post puts it, "Its effectiveness depends entirely on the degree to which you already believe its talking points..” 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.”

Michael O'Sullivan of The Washington Post said it was "preaching to the choir". 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." Reviewer Steven Hunter gave the film a 50% rating saying "It isn't terrible but it isn't amazing either. Somehow it falls mysteriously in between." 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."
