The Last Supper

Ok, l love a good story but let's stick to The Book. No amount of creative license can make the story better. You can never top the Holy Spirit as an author. If you feel the need to inject info into the story for continuity, that's ok but to change events is not and this retelling does just that. The actor playing Judas was superb but there's a reason he didn't hang himself in the city street. John was too old for this part. The women running was odd take and had no context. The disciples fishing a week after the crucifixion in a deep state of depression? Jesus appeared 3 days after His death to the disciples which is a corner stone of theology.

Took my wife to go watch this and yes the movie was great.. I had just finally gave my life completely over to God a few months ago while being incarcerated but if you are a huge fan of the show, "The Chosen" than steer clear of this. Comparing the actors from each will completely ruin it for you. Some of them "in my opinion" had no right playing their character and it will be in your mind 24/7 lol. Aside from something as "little" as that. I believe the movie did a great job at showing this from a different angle. Definitely worth watching and I'm glad much more religious movies and shows are coming out. I can't wait to see how The Chosen's version will match up to it!

Alternative title: Judas & Peter.

A different take on the events of the holy week from the perspective of some of the disciples.

The Biblical account of and around the Last Supper was almost lost with a mystical representation of what was going on with Judas.

Overall, this movie should be good for any person familiar with the biblical depiction.

Synopsis: In the days leading to betrayal, a gathering of disciples unravels into a web of secrets and hidden motives. As tensions simmer beneath the surface, trust is tested, and loyalty is questioned. The Last Supper becomes a night where nothing is as it seems, and every glance hides a deeper truth.

My honest opinion on "The Last Supper" is not that good. While the cinematography was okay, there were a few factors about the movie that didn't move me.

1. The character that played Jesus did not do it very well, it was like an empty actor just reading a script. He didn't give the emotion or attitude that the Bible portrays in some aspect. For instance, the den of thieves scene, when Jesus was angry at them, the actor didn't give that emotion.

2. The vfx was horrible, snakes slithering around was like a bad graphic video game. Going into things, missing part of the body.

3. Vital moments were missed, the Crucifixion wasn't shown or the manifestation of God when Jesus died on the cross. It wasn't shown how mary found his tomb empty.

4. Overall I just didn't feel moved, it was almost like the movie wasn't anointed in a way. Or God wasn't a central piece in the film! Almost like doing something without consulting God. Even during Jesus getting whipped, I wanted to feel something so bad, but just couldn't.

I thought I was going to see "The Chosen Series of The Last Supper", which is coming to theaters, soon. -- Oh, well! This "Last Supper" movie version, which has every right to be screened before The Chosen series version, is satisfactory at best. The disappointment about this movie would chiefly be the cinematography and lighting, both dark, murky, and unclear. The sound quality was excellent. The screen direction and editing were well done. The casting choices were acceptable, except for the actor who played Jesus -- He didn't do it for me -- just saying. The storyline did the job all right, except that the movie forgot to highlight or mention the role of the "women" who were at the crucifixion, after following Jesus on his walk along the Via De La Rosa, and the "women" were not even mentioned by John's account of the crucifixion, as he was the only one of Jesus's disciples to witness the crucifixion ... This movie didn't have the same polish and personality as "The Chosen Series", but all is is forgiven ... A different perspective is always worth seeing.
