Review of Ben-Hur (2016) by Peter Rainer for Christian Science Monitor — 18 Aug 2016

As Judah’s boyhood best friend and adoptive brother, Messala, against whom Judah will eventually square off in the Roman Circus, Toby Kebbell has even less to work with than Huston, and he bears a disconcerting resemblance to motivational guru Tony Robbins.
