RISEN

REVIEWED
This movie stars Joseph Fiennes, not James Bond's M, but the younger brother.

It is about the rise of Jesus Christ (?), I believe, from what being told and written from the bible. What I know there are a few versions and I dont know which one was this taken from. It started from the cruxification of JC right to when he rose from the dead and commanded his 12 apostles to spread Christianity.

Through out the movie, you are not told the name Jesus rather than Yeshua who was played by Cliff Curtis. This guy could look like a Negro, hispanic but more like an Indian. He could also look like a Jew in this one. JF played Clavius one of the roman's commander who got "converted" but turned down to be one of the apostle.

The movie is slow with not much of action or effects. The only motivation to view this is to find out what finally happened or when the movie end. To me how easily was Clavius being turned to believe in Yeshua hard to understand. How a Roman commander who slained Jews suddenly turned a new leaf when he met Yeshua. And also how the Apostle believe in him that he had turned is also a wonder. But since it is based on a "true story" of sort, it could happened. Perhaps like "Eddie the Eagle" the part of Clavius was fictious ?

The Romans soldiers seem kind and gentlemen like thou you see dozens of bodies been thrown to rot after cruxification.

Good to see if you are into drama. Ok acting I suppose. It would be better if it had shown the cruelty and the torture done by the Romans and how Christianity started to spread. Spicing up the action would also be great. Perhaps budget is a constraint and so we are left with this version.
