Clavius (Joseph Fiennes), a powerful Roman military tribune, and his aide, Lucius (Tom Felton), are tasked with solving the mystery of what happened to Jesus (Cliff Curtis) in the weeks following the crucifixion, in order to disprove the rumors of a risen Messiah and prevent an uprising in Jerusalem.

Critics Consensus: Risen benefits from a lighter tone than many faith-based productions, as well as a unique take on the Greatest Story Ever Told and a terrific turn from star Joseph Fiennes.

David Nusair

...an exceedingly erratic drama...

Exceptionally crafted and performed, Risen is a Bible drama for a new era.

Richard Crouse

It's about faith and the strength of belief, but is flawed by inconsistent dialogue style - it ranges from sword-and-sandal formality to modern day vernacular - and the limitations of a low budget that prevents any truly miraculous visions.

Richard Propes

An almost straightforward account made better by a strong ensemble cast.

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.
