This is an unusual film, taking the story of Christ’s resurrection from the perspective of a roman soldier investigating “the case of the missing Jew”. It’s very grounded in its presentation and has excellent production values, unlike almost any other Christian movies. It doesn’t contradict any of the historical accounts but fills in the gaps with practical speculation to tell a story. If you haven’t seen it and you’re even a little bit interested it’s definitely worth a watch.

Closest comparison: It’s like The Passion of the Christ by way of The Eagle (2011).
