Review of Risen (2016) by Stephen J — 08 Apr 2016
Risen is not high in drama or suspense, but its unique perspective of the resurrection account and its care for historical accuracy is incredibly impressive. It was nice to see a Near Eastern appearing Jesus (who looks like he may actually have looked during his incarnation), Apostles with relatable and realistic personalities, and an imaginative police drama approach to the typically predictable synopsis of the Gospels.
Joseph Fiennes offers a subtle yet solid performance and Peter Firth skillfully portrays the nervous stoic Pilate. An intriguing and inspirational investigatory tale that respects the deity of Christ but doesn't Bible thump.
Well done.
