There’s an obvious religious message, but Risen is actually more concerned with weaving a compelling story than ham-fistedly hammering home a beleaguered point. And that's good.

I have a friend who writes about movies (shocking, I know) and also happens to be a devout Christian. Last summer, when War Room, a religious drama, surprised pundits and was a box office hit despite widespread negative reviews, someone at his church, knowing his affinity for cinema, suggested that maybe he might want to review it, thinking he would provide a Christian perspective. As it turned out, his review was one of the most savage I read, and the general gist of it was, “Just because I’m Christian doesn’t mean I like shitty movies or that I’ll give one a pass.” He lamented the fact that most faith-based movies are cheap, slapdash, poorly acted, heavy-handed, and simply not very good. The latest entry into this arena, Risen, while not a great film by any stretch of the imagination, is a step in the right direction.
Produced by Affirm Films, the faith-based arm of Sony, with a larger than usual budget and more recognizable talent in front of and behind the camera, Risen is a retelling of the story of Christ. There’s an obvious religious message, but the film is actually more concerned with weaving a compelling story than ham-fistedly hammering home a beleaguered point.
