I really liked this movie...it was a little long, but, hey, they were portraying the entire ministry of Paul...the only things I balked at were the fact they did not include Silas in the movie and that they changed some mi nor events...oh yeah, and they also altered the reason Paul and Barnabas went different ways...they were supposed to fight over JohnMark...but whatev...I was actually surprised cuz the movie was Christian and actually had moderate violence in it...not that I am a bloodthirsty person or anything but I hate how most Christian movies are so skittish of violence...I mean, it happened, right? Also the music was not blaring and totally unfitting like some other Christian movies that shall remain unnamed:P
So yeah, I like this movie a lot. And am glad to own it.

I enjoyed and own it too. It was well-done and beautifully filmed. I didn't mind the fictional dramatic elements inserted because it didn't alter the gist of the story. Also, it didn't hurt that the lead actor was quite handsome!

The only problem I had with it is that the story stopped right before Paul entered Rome. It didn't follow through to his martyrdom. But oh well, you can't have everything.

The Book of Acts ends rather abruptly as it is thought that Luke intended to write another book that further taught the history of Paul. The Bible does not say Paul was martyred that comes from church traditional. Overall this film was well done.
