Review of Paul, Apostle of Christ (2018) by Miguel D — 04 Apr 2018
I had high hopes for this movie I was completely disappointed. This movie was a missed opportunity. They pick up the movie at the end of paul's life in prison in rome before his execution. they should have started the story when he was saul, a jewish Pharisee, his conversion, his preaching, travels etc.
this movie depicts Christians as weak martyrs. James Faulkner is miscast for the role of paul as is Olivier martinez as Mauritius. he can barely speak a word of English. we needed subtitles just to understand him alone.
they give the character of paul a condo for a prison cell, large, spacious, clean as a whistle lighted by torches and not a rat, snake or cockroach in sight. reality was that paul was kept in a prison cell where the sewage of rome ran through it and where he was forced to stand chained chest high in it with rats etc.
swimming all around him. when mauriitius asks paul "can your god heal my daughter" paul's CONFUSED AND WEAK ANSWER IS "I DON'T KNOW" WELL, thank God for luke who comes in and saves the day.
seriously? We need a movie showing the real power of our god, our savior and our gospel, not this.
