It’s interesting to see the story told from a Roman perspective, something I have attempted in some of my own works as a writer.
The special effects come across well and are on a par with Downey’s AD the bible continues series. Risen is up there with other biblical stories: Son of God, Jesus of Nazareth and Mary Magdalene.
It has an interesting cast, especially Fiennes in the role of Clavius. My favourite scene involves the healing of the leper.
