Follows the book of ACTS. Shows the complete message of Christ and the transformation of Saul to Paul and how the high priest of Judea does not believe in what has taken place after the Crucifixion of Christ.

Yup folks! This is no "King of Kings"! In fact, this is no "King of Comedies" either! It is an embarrassment to the art of cinematography and Dramatic acting as anyone knows it! At least no one could be accused of being a ham! Devoid of emotional content, but never hammy! In fact, the best comparison I could make is that of humongous Train Wreck! All you can do is watch and gawk at the lack of humanity! Or character portrayal of any shape or form!
The movie is absolute dribble! Devoid of any real character portrayals on anyones part! Everybody there act's like it is a nine to five job, with two breaks and a lunch! And they act like they did all of the above! I don't really blame the actors! I blame the director and all of the people around him that didn't convey that this thing is worse than anyone could have intentionally imagined! The only purpose for this movie now is to be an example for up and coming cinema students as to what they should avoid and never do in creating a film! The Actors are all moving about as if they are taking their lines from the teleprompter! And Jesus looks as if he is in on some private joke half of the time! His responses to the dialog are at best fractured and devoid of any real understanding of what exactly is the emotion and motivation in every scene he's in! Oh well! Goes to show that you can get people to make anything into a film if you have access to the funds and are willing to promote it based solely on ...........Mythos! I am sad to see that they would pick up the clippings off of the cutting room floor and go "Hey dudes! We got enough clippings here for another movie! Hick!"! Because they would have had to have been drunk, stoned, and beyond all recognition of what is and isn't factual or even believable!
