Loved the premis of this film. Maybe too generous giving 5* rating but its so minimalistic, purely a conversation in one room (a la 'an inspecor calls') with a bunch of colleagues that kept me gripped throughout the entire film, and a great subtle twist at the end.
Goes to show hollywood doesn't need big budgets to make great films. You just need a good story good actors and a great script/dialogue. Fantastic performances from Tony Todd and all other cast members!!
SPOILER ALERT!! SPOILER ALERT!! I some what agree with Jemmielrey in that the film takes pleasure in ridiculing the the Christian faith and I happen think that's wrong, just like ridiculing any other faith for pleasure is wrong. First of all, to me the film would have been much more believable if the main character wasn't Jesus himself but a well known lesser Bible character. Secondly, I thought the characters assumption that the myriad of Bible translations constitutes different Biblical messages was erroneous, they all follow the same message. Thirdly, the fact that other religious faiths have the same story elements to them, such as the virgin birth, does not disprove Christianity. I don't care about the Vatican's opinion on anything. I did find Daniellsamson's comment "LOL" perplexing. Are you texting your teeny bopper friends? Write an intelligible comment? I'm sure you have something more to say.
Though the action is restricted to one setting, the movie is extremely stimulating!Although there are no aliens or such represented, it creates a much more believable story than they would do. It is one of those movies that you wish they would never end...
how can we say that its a great movie or a brilliant movie? when its a one big blasphemy movie. yes it makes you think, but it makes you think of what? that their is no God, and every thing is just a story or a myth. wow wow wow. thats one BIG BLASPHEMY for me. catholic church did not like passion of the Christ lets see what they say about this MAN FROM EARTH
