Ressurreição

There's so much thoughtful acting...

Refreshingly unpretentious, Risen reimagines the Gospel as an ancient Roman cop movie, in which a seen-it-all military tribune and his rookie second-in-command have to track down the missing body of a recently crucified Jewish preacher.

Clavius is a man plagued by his inept soldiers, disruptive locals and a continuity-defying cut on his lip, and his investigations around Jerusalem pitch him as a Biblical-era Columbo...

It’s solidly middling fare, soft of heart and script...
