The Emissary: A Biblical Epic

This film is only an hour long and tries to cover way too much in one hour. I wondered if it was edited from a longer film or was it done on such a low budget they only highlighted episodes of Paul's life. The title should be "Highlights from Paul's Life." I'm sure the producers' hearts were in the right place, but, unfortunately, it wasn't a very good film. The acting was poor by most of the supporting actors. The actor who played Paul was ok, but he was working with a weak script. The dialogue could have been better. If you are going to see a movie about Paul see the made for tv 1981 film PETER AND PAUL, starring Anthony Hopkins as Paul and Robert Foxworth as Peter, instead. Or see the 2018 film PAUL, APOSTLE OF CHRIST, starring James Faulkner as Paul and Jim Caviezel as Luke. Or watch a documentary on Paul like IN THE FOOTSTEPS OF SAINT PAUL, hosted by David Suchet. Or, better yet read a good biography on Paul, such as PAUL: A BIOGRAPHY by N.T. Wright. Or, best of all, read Paul's letters and The Acts of the Apostles in the New Testament.
