With an efficient and alternately clumsy and eloquent screenplay by Walon Green, Killing Jesus does not vary much from the Via Dolorosa. As a result, the lavish NatGeo treatment works a lot better than it did on the channel’s adaptations of O’Reilly’s earlier books, “Killing Lincoln” and “Killing Kennedy.”

As ham-fisted as the filmmaking is, the anticipated finale is gritty, convincing and moving. We feel the wrenching pain Jesus experiences on the cross. His final words are spoken like a man about to die after hours and hours of unimaginable agony, with resolution and perhaps a bit of relief. It isn’t enough to rescue the rest of the feeble effort, though.

Good acting, very well done. I'm wondering how many of the negative reviews are people who don't like Bill O'Reilly. I don't agree with his views, but I won't base any review on who was responsible for the production.

Dead Serious about the rating. This has to be the funniest stuff I've seen on TV in a long while. Killing Jesus almost sounds like an atheist based podcast, doesn't it? It would be less offensive to the Christian Crazies that watch stuff like this than the show itself
