Der römische Tribun Clavius kommt im Jahr 33 n. Chr. nach Palästina, um die herrschenden Aufstände niederzuschlagen. Der Nazarener Jesus ist gekreuzigt und nach jüdischem Brauch bestattet worden. Nach der Prophezeiung soll der Messias nach drei Tagen wiederauferstehen. Tatsächlich verschwindet der Leichnam aus der Grabhöhle. Von Pontius Pilatus beauftragt, soll Clavius mit der Hilfe seines ehrgeizigen Beraters Lucius den Vorfall klären. Clavius' Weltbild wird bei den Ermittlungen erschüttert. (ORF)

Risen is made interestingly. At first glance, it's actually something like a paranormal historical detective story set in the period just before the decline of Rome, which would be very cool, but on the other hand, it's still a film about faith in someone who heals lepers. I simply have an issue with that, and it is reflected in every movie. I don't mean with lepers but with the concept of Christianity around Jesus and the one God.

I’m always worried about excessive Christian propaganda when it comes to these kinds of movies. But this one was completely okay. Risen is a historical movies’ classic that I’d only hesitate to call an epic film because the viewer doesn’t get to see any big mass actions. The movie starts with the crucifixion of Jesus and as soon as he disappears, there comes the search. At that moment, I realized that I was watching the very first ancient-times crime investigation movie, which was a lot of fun. All that was missing was a few stylish CSI scenes of their medical capabilities at the time and the picture would’ve been complete. But as soon as Jesus appears, the movie shifts quite a bit and the main Roman character starts to ponder, not only about their own faith, but also about their whole life and the world in general. That part’s a little weaker because it points out some thoughts that unfortunately, a lot of people still don’t get today. Overall, I must say that it’s not at all shot as badly as the reviews make it seem.

That was torture. No pace, mediocre execution with one action scene right at the beginning, the rest drags like an earthworm after rain. Nothing for me. I was bored beyond belief. 20%
