Only half

The Apostle Peter: Redemption is half of a really good movie. : This is a story of
the conflict between two protagonists St. Peter and the Emperor Nero.

John Rhys-Davies steps into a fine tradition ofplayers who have done justice to
Peter in movies. We're talking folks like Howard Keel, Finlay Currie, and Michael
Rennie all who made Peter a vital character as does Rhys-Davies. Ths was definitely
a man who labored in his early days before being called as a disciple.

Wouldst I could say the same for Stephen Baldwin's somewhat catatonic portrayal of the Emperor Nero. After such classic performers as Charles Laughton and Peter Ustinov as Nero, Baldwin comes off distinctly second rate.

It's not a bad film just not really good

score 5/10
