May 27, 2017JOSEPH SARDO rated this title 3.5 out of 5 stars
As a Christian, I give the resurrection of Jesus a 5 out of 5 stars. :P However, Risen was a cool movie with a unique perspective, but I didn't find it all that stellar or engrossing. Perhaps the "coverage" of the so-called manhunt wasn't all that interesting to watch transpire. Although Clavius as played very well by Joseph Fiennes was a very worthy and noble "protagonist." My favourite scene was actually he and Pilate taking a bath :P : the room was super cool and the dialogue was fascinating. The development of Clavius as he diligently investigated this pesky Jesus and his 'strange' followers with their incredible proclamations was fun to follow. All in all, I'm strained to give the film anything more than 3 1/2 stars even though I enjoyed it overall.
