The gist of this film is there are lots of shots which make the actor look like Paul in a Caravaggio painting.
They omit almost his entire career as an evangelist, which is odd for a biopic, but understandable considering it was probably very low budget. Oddly, they didn't deal with the likelihood that Peter was in Rome at the same time.
Fact is, no one knows how Paul died. The conviction for treason in this film is complete fiction. He was arrested, not for being a Christian, but rather for creating a disturbance at the temple in Jerusalem. Some say, as a Roman citizen, he was not held liable for the charges, and lived out his days in Western Europe.
It's all a guess.
Still, the script in this film was awful. The crisis wasn't well sold, and the relationships weren't well developed. Conflict was sold like cheap candy. Don't buy it.
