Thanks for the memories!

Absolutely Fantastic

Very interesting film. Was caught on the premise when seeing the trailer but unsure as to what the outcome would be for the showing. As it turns out, it was a very good film.

Instead, you get a movie that's enjoyable enough, but leaves you feeling like it could have been much, much more.

it is easy to criticize it. low budget, not great performances, sketches of Biblical accuracy. but it has two great virtues - Robert Loggia as Saint Peter and the status of story for the child from yourself. Robert Loggia does an admirable role , proposing a Peter near the death , wise, vulnerable, strong and with the precious desire to birth his faith as only memory. a dialog in a cell. images from the past who represents only real present. and the build of message. the film propose only the feeling of faith. without dramatic scenes, without powerful images or special effects. and this mistake does it credible. because it is not an adaptation, not a religious film but rediscover of the delicacy of same message of Church. and that does it not a great film, maybe not memorable. but useful. for the rediscover of a pillar of our civilization.

Writing a review for this movie is like telling an uncoordinated kid who dreams of playing professional sports that they should consider computer science. The desire of this movie is to challenge people to consider Jesus Christ as Lord. I get it. I promote the same message.The quality and resources of the movie do not deliver. Within the first minutes I find myself looking at the rooftops of blatantly obvious computer generated houses from 1990. It would have been much better to scrap those shots, instead of reminding viewers of the location and Biblical time setting it reminded me I was watching a low budget movie.One low budget aspect I enjoyed supremely was the wig and beard choices. Wow! I cried from laughing so hard. One of the disciples looked like Confucius.Much of the acting falls flat and is not nearly inspired enough to warrant viewing the movie, in which we spend 50% of the time in a jail cell(obvious set).The worst part is that this "Biblical" movie has a lot of conjecture and lines you will not find in the Bible. I'm not referring to the jail scenes which is obviously the setup for our flashbacks to Jesus. The flashbacks add lines...for instance: at the last supper one of the disciples threatens to harm the betrayer. Not recorded in the Bible. Sure, it could have been, they were passionate guys...it could have been part of the murmuring BUT IT IS NOT IN THE BIBLE. Even if you don't care at all about Biblical accuracy the movie is sub par. I couldn't get through it without fast forwarding much of it.

I watch this minimum twice a month and I get so much out of it each time! I've watched it since it came out! The actors take you there as if you were part of the moment from beginning to end. Great movie, great performance, edifying to the heart, mind, and soul! Excellent illustration of the Gospel in a simple way. A treasure to have and pass on to the next generation. I recommend it to all who seek to understand the truth of a friend who laid His life down for LOVE.... Enlightens the true meaning of forgiveness, true love, grace, and a sovereign God who loves us. May all of you who choose to watch this movie be blessed with a closer relationship with God and an understanding of how much HE loves us...

My family watched this during Passover/Easter week. The movie takes the perspective of Peter, relaying his experiences to a jailer as Peter spends his final fee days in prison. Peter recounts his meeting Jesus, some of the events of the ministry years, the Last Supper, and the Garden scene. We watched this with our 6 year old, and would have no problems showing it to other children. Satan does appear a few times in the film, but not too scary.The acting is well done and the scenes varied enough that it keeps the interest of even the children.We highly recommend this film for you and your family.
