A new view on an old story.

Still, for a film that could have easily become bogged down in Sunday School reverence, or culture-war opportunism, Risen presents an intriguing, oblique approach to a Bible movie.
The film, directed and co-written by Kevin Reynolds (Fandango, um, Waterworld), is a nice-enough telling of the Resurrection of Jesus, which at times seems like it also wants to be a Very Special Episode of CSI: Jerusalem. It's well-made and well-acted.
With intelligence and great moviemaking skill, [Reynolds] has created a classic variation on a venerated ancient theme.
