    provocative

    For a Christian, the main interest is about the question. The doubt. The Resurrection as root of his faith. And, in this sense, the film does a well job. Because, it propose a clash, proofs from a tomb, expectations and, without be the most ispired constructed, the end is the only reasonable. A film proposing a challenge. Not in the best form but acceptable.
