Follows the epic Biblical story of the Resurrection, as told through the eyes of a non-believer. Clavius, a powerful Roman Military Tribune, and his aide Lucius, are tasked with solving the mystery of what happened to Yahshua in the weeks following the crucifixion, in order to disprove the rumors of a risen Messiah and prevent an uprising in Jerusalem. Written by Sony Pictures
Watched "Risen" last night and must say I was impressed. It is very well made and the story was captivating. The story less focuses on Jesus and more on a fictional roman character who is tasked with sealing and placing guards to watch Jesus's tomb. But when the body disappears, it falls in his hands to investigate and retrieve the body. Like a good detective movie, we follow the main actors disbelief but openness to search for the truth. But what makes this movie stand out for me was the acting. The quality and intensity of the actors make this movie one that should not be missed. I recommend this movie to everyone.
