Risen | Full Movie | Movies Anywhere

But even if it is the best film of its type, it's not broadly appealing, and the non-religious moviegoer is likely to find it as bland as I did.

Risen is a pretty riveting film from director Kevin Reynolds. No hammy acting or dogmatic bluntness, thanks to Fiennes' layered performance as a conflicted man. I highly recommend for believers and non-believers alike.

It doesn't preach too much and has a good story.

The production values are solid, the soundtrack not overly intrusive and whilst the characterisation leaves something to be desired, Joseph Fiennes does his best with a lot of middle-distance staring.

Although it offers nothing new or challenging in terms of its narrative, Risen offers some straightforward, uncontroversial, albeit fairly interesting family entertainment for the Easter season.
