Concept wise it's intriguing. Execution is a mess. The trailer is brilliant and sets up a film that has strong legs. What is presented needs crutches... and it's incredibly disappointing.
The actor ensemble is outstanding and they surely care the film but though the story is well known, the story of Jesus Christ, but for some reason this interpretation, even using an 'original' lense doesn't land.
What fundamentally is the purpose of this film? The actors are top notch. The location, is iconic (the same used for most Jesus films), the quality of production is high, it's as if every ingredient is perfect but the outcome is downright boring.
