Risen (2016)
Directed by Kevin
Reynolds this film stars Joseph Fiennes, Tom Felton, Peter Firth and
Cliff Curtis. After the crucifixion a Roman officer is given the job
of tracking down the body of Jesus when it disappears.
Compared to most
religious films this is not a heavy handed or overly preachy film but
it does not have a lot of meat to it. The plot offers little new or
refreshing and adding in the Roman officer does not really give a
different point of view on the usual Christian tale. Some of the
acting is a bit suspect which does not help matters either especially
when comparing this to the biblical epics of past eras.
2/5
