A fairly gritty account of the aftermath of Jesus' crucifixion- mixing politics ,religion ( Jews and Romans have an uneasy alliance against the new religion) and finding faith. It's realistic feeling as it's bloody,sweaty and sandy. The cast do it justice, Joseph Fiennes as the jaded Roman soldier bored of the politics, Peter Firth as ultimate politician Pilate and Cliff Curtis as a serene, dignified Jesus.
As Human Race, Atheist or believer we're all searching for answers... Billion questions about what we are? why we're here? what's the point? This movie was truly inspired from above...and Clavius (Joseph Fiennes) played...well I have to say: I did not see an Actor, I saw a Roman Soldier, a Tribune... oh My Dearest Jesus WHAT A PERFORMANCE !!! Money, Wealth or Fame or even Academy Award is not enough to Reword this Performance it's just not enough... Mr.Fiennes, Mr.Reynolds, and everyone who made this Movie possible May God help You with all your Quest in Life that is my humble thanks from the bottom of my poor Heart If you're in doubt... just watch this Movie Peter
Even with the flux of bad movies all around us Risen is unique in how bad it is, no plot, no action, no rhythm, and even if Tom Felton and Joseph Finnes are good actors the movie managed to pale their performances. It seems to be a Christian movie. I would stay away from it,far away
I saw the title and it interested me. I read several reviews which were conflicting so I decided to watch the movie. The first hour seems as if it could have been something that happened after the Resurrection but at about the 1 hour to 1 hour ten minutes it changes to something that was impossible according to scripture. I found it strange that the movie was made in the USA but people have English accents as well as Irish and Scottish accents. The person they chose to play Jesus just looks like an average vagrant and nothing like any picture anyone has seen. actually thought it was a British movie when I heard the people speak but according to IMDb it is an American movie. For a B movie it is okay, I just wish they would not indulge themselves to make it look like a Roman protected the Disciples.
