Paul, Apostle of Christ
Luke risks his life and goes to Rome to visit the Apostle Paul, who is held in the prison cell of Nero, the darkest and cruelest. Paul asks whether he has forgotten his mistakes before he was executed or not. But Luke begins to write a book explaining the birth of what will be known as the church.

Caviezel gives a stoic performance as the brave and selfless Luke. Lynch and Whalley are excellent as the husband and wife Christian community leaders Aquila and Priscilla. Costumes, sets, cinematography and editing are all first-rate.

"Paul, Apostle of Christ" offers both solace and a bracing, even revolutionary, challenge.

A few minutes of thriller-like tension early on gives way to a lot of tediously scripted scenes of whisper-acting that rarely breathe life and humanity into what should be a potent turning point story in a religion's history.

Fails to fully develop the stakes at hand, but it features more thoughtful world-building than most faith-based films, as well as a bracing honesty about the difficulty of reconciling idealistic credos with a harsh and unforgiving world.
