Saint Paul

The film is set after the death of Jesus, and because of this it makes interesting viewing as you see different angles of the religious situation at the time.

The acting and script is laboured at times, but there's a nice bit of female eye candy (Barbora Bobulova) to keep your attention.

It is shown in two 1hr30min parts. The first being the better of the two as a lot more goes on. The second part becomes a bit tedious, and the ending is disappointing.

It's certainly not "Jesus of Nazareth" standard but it's not a bad film, especially the first half.

I would recommend this film as an interesting follow on for a Jesus film that ends with his crucifixion.

This movie started out fairly well. Some artistic license, but fairly accurate bibically. Until "Reuben" strips Dina on their wedding bed and breast/nipple shows up on my TV screen! What is up with the nudity? This is not what I expected for a biblical film. What was the need? "Reuben" was not even in the biblical account, so you add a unknown character to the story, you marry him off the the prettiest girl in the show, you imply some sexual tension with "Paul" (he even said that if he wanted her he could have her), and you show her breasts!?! I quickly skipped forward on my DVD player and lo and behold, a dancing girl is now writhing around on my screen show off her backside!! Off went the video and I spent the next hour trying to find somewhere where I could vent my frustration! Roger Young and the rest of the cast and crew of this sham biblical account, SHAME ON YOU!! I would not recommend this movie to anyone EVER!!!

This movie didn't shy away from trying to be reasonable, what I mean is that it shows how people likely would've responded in the wake of Christ's death on the cross, it doesn't at any point get overly preachy...what I mean in simple terms...you don't get the sense in ANY WAY that Ray Comfort or Kirk Cameron were involved in it. The "bad guys" mocked Jesus in more of a 2nd grader way, and it did a decent job to show Paul as Saul. It felt more like a historical movie more than a religious movie, hope that makes sense.

The acting was really good, minus Dinah. But it wasn't the actress fault, it was her character was like a chihuahua.

The movie was fairly long, but I could've gone for it being an extra 30 or so minutes even! I was very intrigued by everyone in it.

Before I end, I do need to say that yes, I'm aware it wasn't totally biblically accurate in EVERY sense, but it's a MOVIE. If you want a word for word bible retelling, there are plenty out there for you.

I know this movie has a strong fictional basis, however, I have so enjoyed the movie and have watched it many, many times since I purchased it over 2 years ago. I thought the director Roger Young did a beautiful job and I loved the guy who played King Herod, it was truly an excellent cast, especially the actors who played Peter and Paul. I didn't give it a 10 because it wasn't as Biblically based as it should have been. Again, I have watched this movie many times and would recommend it to anyone, it is done so beautifully!!! Even though there are fictional characters that take up a considerable amount of the movie, the basis of this movie is very grounded in the The New Testament, again this is one of my favorite movies!!!

I totally think it was not the best movie to see for Saint Paul's life. But there is one reason to watch it over and over again. And the reason is Thomas Lockyer- Reuben if you like. Yes, I agree that he is a fictional character just like Dinah. But it's a very well performed one too. Thomas looks amazing and magnetic in this film, charming but psycho at the same time.Yes, his girlfriend is the best looking one in the whole bible series, but he deserved that! They are both fake characters but artistically speaking, they make the movie more interesting. And that's the reason there is the sex scene after the wedding. I agree it's not very biblical but useful to make more complete their characters and the situation more realistic. There are other mistakes too like Barnabas baptizing Saul by his own command or Saul being also interested in Dinah. Another well performed role was Barnaba's, who was a little funny too, again to make the movie more interested.I recommend the movie only if you are interested in performances(-and let's face it- Thomas Lockyer's will indemnify you)
