bkoganbing If there's one thing you learn from Paul, Apostle Of Christ it's how important scribes were back in the day. We meet James Faulkner as Paul the Apostle who did more than anyone else to spread the teachings of Jesus of Nazareth and to make permanent his church.This film takes place toward the end of his life in 67 AD when Emperor Nero has set fire to the city of Rome and then cast the blame on a sect known as Christians. That part of the story can be seen in big budget Hollywood extravaganzas Quo Vadis and The Sign Of The Cross with some colorful Neros Peter Ustinov and Charles Laughton respectively. Nero makes no appearance here, but we see the fear he's instilled in the Christians, the more so because their leader Paul is in a Roman prison with Prefect Olivier Martinez in charge. He's got other things on his mind such as a questioning wife and a sick daughter.Faulkner as Paul is concerned about only one thing, that the story of his life get out while he can get it told. The telling he does is to Luke the physician, who besides healing as his profession requires is also a scribe. Luke is credited with writing his own gospel of Jesus and the Book of Acts telling of the lives and work of the disciples of Christ and others who spread the Word.It's to Luke that Paul entrusts with getting out a final letter to Timothy over in Ephesus where the Christians have a somewhat thriving church. Luke has an additional mission to treat Olivier Martinez's daughter. It's the mingling of the missions that's the basis of this film.Luke purportedly lived and died at a ripe old age essentially because he was entrusted as a scribe. For Paul and the rest of the Christian community they were scheduled to have all kinds of death with being lion lunch for most and a beheading for Paul.This is a most reverential film and I'm in agreement with others a feeling of hopelessness prevails as regard to this life on earth. Jim Caviezel is a fine Luke and Faulkner is a stoic and spiritual Paul.Special mention should go to Darryl Luke Vassallo playing a young Roman orphan whom the Christians take in. His martyrdom will make a Medusa shed a tear.

aintgonlie The movie rather focused more on Luke than on Paul. Moreover, not much is described of Paul's life.

cjsobin This is an important film. It is the Bible come to life, accurately, and brutally. It speaks of hope, love, redemption, grace, and godliness

zif ofoz How do I write a review about a flick that is beneath gutter garbage? Answer is I cannot.To be quite honest I could not even finish this attempt at movie making. The investors should sue the producers, director, actors, etc. for the complete waste of money. I feel somebody lined their pockets by making a fool of everybody else.Flush this crap!
