to tell a well known story in the manner who gives to public not only a good adaptation but the feeling to be part of the story. that is the basic virtue of film. a director knowing remind characters and lines and the rhythm of words. a script who recreate the atmosphere. a form of fascination who is mark of the meeting with old Hollywood movies. and the circle of confession of Daniel , costumes, dialogues, miracle and honest fight for truth. a low budget film who impose the grace as measure of each scene. who reminds the soul of blockbusters - prisoners of image, ignoring the message. it is not a simple adaptation, it is not exactly a religious story. it could be a testimony. about God, of course. about Israel under conquerors. but , more interesting, about human values. in graceful manner.

Some of the reviewers for this movie seem to be prejudiced against a biblical movie production. Well, we live in such times where it is popular to dislike anything to do with the creator of the universe. But just like Daniel told the truth to the kings he served, this movie tells the truth better than any Hollywood production ever made. (even "The Ten Commandments" with Charlton Heston.) The is the new #1 Hollywood biblical production. Filmed with excellent and prominent actors and actresses, celebrities and performers. A "Must See" for believers and non-believers alike. This biblical story stands on it's own, even on a tight budget. Bible stories do not require expensive special effects to convey the message. Bravo!!!

First I will let you know that I'm a Christian, but I'm also a huge movie fan and in my opinion most Christian movies are not that good.The Book of Daniel isn't perfect, but I feel it is well acted, fairly well written and stays true to the story.While there are no real special effects and it is a low budget movie, that doesn't make it bad.Daniel is a person in the Bible that really hasn't had too many turns on the small or big screen, and this is a pretty decent attempt at telling his story and God's story of love for all people. If you go into this movie with an open mind, instead of rejecting it because it is a Biblical movie, you may enjoy it.

like many Christian movies, it is not a show but an invitation. an invitation to discover the roots of your/neighbor faith. an invitation to discover, again, the Bible not only as religious book but as answer to common problems. and basic virtue of this adaptation is the delicate measure, the force of images, the wise acting who gives soul to a story who represents more than a story. it is easy to remember the usual note, almost pathetic of religious films. in this case the things are different and the secret is result of performance of each actor who reflects in his character art to build map of spiritual grow-up. not a great film. only necessary. as invitation to see reality more than a game.
