Actually this well intentioned movie is a bit hard to follow. I prefer a more Hollywood version like Quo Vadis.
Firstly, too much is filmed in darkness. The flashbacks are confusing.
It's not too horrific. The actual coliseum feeding of Christians to the Lions is not shown.
It's nice to see Joanne Whaley as Priscilla and James Caveziel as St Luke. Olivier Martinez speaks with a very strong French accent. It's hard to understand and not right for a Roman soldier. Should have been British or Italian.
Interesting for an accurate depiction of what happened but not as enjoyable as the old fashioned more inaccurate biblical epics like Quo Vadis and Ben Hur etc.
