Well done. The music is faithful to the original songs. Great picks for the lead and the romantic interest. All the awkward moments Jack experiences made the movie better and more real. I was going to pass on this and I'm very glad I didn't. I took a chance with a free rental and will now be getting the movie for my personal collection.

One word: boring. Whoever thought this was a good idea for a movie should learn programming computers to perform specific functions. They should certainly never work at anything requiring interaction with the public. No good guys, bad guys, twists, or payoffs on the supposed expectations. I don't viscerally hate many movies. This is one. I usually like Damon, Bale, Berndahl, and many of the other cast. I had to force myself to sit through the whole thing. If you really want to check this out, wait for free streaming somewhere. This is clearly one of those movies that critics are pushing to demonstrate their "influence" or get paid, and there are so many fake 9/10 and 10/10 reviews here it's hard to trust IMBD anymore.

I was pleasantly surprised at how enjoyable this was. Plot holes could be ignored because the anticipation was so strong. Good cinematography and the actors had good chemistry. Unfortunately, the ending was more than cringeworthy, it was insulting. The only real "special effect" was done better in the 70's, the shameless and unexplainable "plot twist" for Shia LaBeouf's character was completely unnecessary, and Dakota Johnson's decisions throughout the entire film (but easy to ignore because, hey, it's a movie) became so ludicrous at the end it made her appear mentally ill. Without a complete rewrite of the ending (and hiring a freshman computer graphics student to do the special effect), it would have been better to just cut things off right before the match and leave the actual ending to the imagination of the audience. As it stands, a clean swing and a miss, sorry.
Paul, Apostle of Christ

Well done

I like movies of faith though I'm not religious. This is one of the better ones to come out recently. The acting, directing, and especially editing are far superior to Sampson, another recent movie of faith which was supposed to be a blockbuster and failed miserably in every imaginable way (including the box office.)
Paul, Apostle of Christ (2018) really does uplift. Whatever you believe, a story of someone willing to endure torture and still maintain his faith, while preaching that great evil can only be conquered by greater good, is someone to be admired. This film can bring tears to your eyes, make no mistake. It can also bolster your resolve to be a force for good.
