Movie Reviews
Reviews:
"RISEN has an 'everything old is new again' feel, harking to the time when sword-and-sandal religious epics ruled the studios, while also freshening up a familiar Bible story with the grit and wry humor of contemporary historical properties." - 02/18/2016 Los Angeles Times
"Refreshingly unpretentious, RISEN reimagines the Gospel as an ancient Roman cop movie..." - 02/18/2016 A.V. Club
"[A]s played by Fiennes, who has the aquiline face and piercing eyes of Max Van Sydow, Clavius is no pushover. You believe his disbelief, so when it wavers, yours might as well." - 02/18/2016 Boston Globe
"A New Testament-era mystery from the man who directed ROBIN HOOD: PRINCE OF THIEVES is an intriguing premise..." - 03/14/2016 Empire
3 stars out of 5 -- "Cliff Curtis is beamingly benign..." - 03/20/2016 The Guardian
