His prayers in the Garden of Gethsemane, Judas's betrayal, Pontius Pilate's interrogation, the death on the cross of Golgotha and subsequent resurrection are depicted in this, sometimes brutal, Mel Gibson's screen version of Biblical legend. The faint-hearted should be prepared for the brutal, barbaric beatings that Christ endures.

This movie is an interpretation of Garrison Keillor's radio show of the same name. After 32 years, Garrison Keillor's radio variety show is coming to an end. Some establishment had bought the radio station this program stapled, so this very broadcast will be the last... Keillor and Altman worked hard at creating a distinct element of authenticity.

After an explosion on a ferry kills over 500 people including a large group of party-going sailors, an ATF agent investigates the crime. AN FBI agent also joins the investigation. Impressed with the ATF agent's skills, the FBI agent invites him to join a new team that has a new program that uses satellite technology to look backwards in time for 4-1/2 days to try to capture the terrorist. Meanwhile a young woman who was burned washes up on shore. Meant to look like part of of the explosion, the body arrives at its location too soon, which leads the agents to believe her death is related to the explosion. As they use the new technology to study the woman, the ATF agent determines that this is not satellite imagery but somehow is using a time warp. From this point in the film, the movie moves from a crime film to a sci-fi time paradox film. Nonetheless, the action is non-stop and always captivating. The end of the film may be confusing to some people, but it is all laid out if one cares to look carefully. Contains some extreme violence that some may find disturbing, particularly during the explosion when many people are shown jumping off the boat in flames. |
