About
You’ll likely enjoy this if you want a faith-driven historical drama with big emotions, courtroom-style confrontations, and classic epic trappings; Not for you if you dislike wordy, stage-like scenes or slow pacing, like in The Fall of the Roman Empire.
Pros: passionate lead performance; stirring historical scope; strong costumes and color | Cons: very talky and long; stagey, cramped feel; uneven supporting cast
