First Time I Ever Cried During a Movie
fractured
Emperor Nero burns down half of Rome and blames it on the Christians. He has the Apostle Paul imprisoned. He has Christians burned as Roman candles or sacrificed to the Roman circus. In 67AD, Greek Christian Luke (Jim Caviezel) secretly arrives in Rome to write down Paul's final testament. Mauritius Gallas leads the Roman persecutors as the Christian community splits on how to oppose their tormentors.
The story telling is too fractured for its own good. There is too much reliance on montages. Paul's flashback stories are disconnected from the narrative. The movie needs to put the persecution front and center. Although this is a movie about Paul, it must be led by Luke. Luke is the eyes of the audience. The movie needs better writing clarity.
