It was very faithful to the source material (i.e., The Book of ACTS in the New Testament). It did not shy away from the suffering and persecution of early Christians. This movie will not be for everyone but it well presents the sympathy, pity, altruism, compassion, and empathy of early Christian Gentiles and Jews, and it makes one appreciate how Christianity survived over 2000 years ago especially under the Roman rule of Nero.… Expand

High quality acting and production. Inspiring on multiple levels. I left the theater a changed person. And to think I could have watched a movie about giant robots fights monsters...

A solid good Christian movie of the final days of Paul. So good that it should put up with The Passion of the Christ.

Best Christian movie I've seen in a long time. Avoids the "God's Not Dead" style and shows a very honest depiction of suffering, loss, and (most important) helping your enemies.

I arrived 15 minutes late at the theater and still had a truly great time. This movie successfully captures the spirit of those character's lives that we see in the Bible and the ethos of the time. I would easily watch it again soon.

This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. This movie is more about the efforts of the apostle Luke to get the story of Paul while he was in prison in Rome. You get a brief resume of Paul's story. You get to see why Paul is the leader of the christian at the time. But overall this is more about Luke and I would say the small community of christian during Nero's persecutions. So, the title is somewhat misleading. The movie isn't to display the violence or actions scenes. It's more about showing the faith and how it moves within peoples. The actors were very good. I like the fact that the Romans had a real Italian accent. There was a good body of work for authenticity with limited budget. The reproduction of Rome is minimal in terms of scope. For a low budget movie, it's very good. I give it a 70%. Just don't expect the life of Paul, but more of what happened in the end of his life.… Expand

Paul, Apostle of Christ brings the true story to life with splendid cinematography and acting, while bringing a powerful message in an in depth and meticulous study of the final days of the titular character.
