The film relates the Biblical story of the Last Supper as told through the eyes of the Apostles.
Set in Rome A.D. 67, two jailers at the ancient Mamertine Prison take custody of a famous criminal. He is Simon Peter of Galilee — apostle, disciple and personal friend of Jesus, also called the Christ. Condemned to death, the elderly Peter (Robert Loggia) recounts his life as a simple fisherman who became one of the boldest figures in all of Christianity. As Peter prepares to depart this earthly life, he will make an unforgettable impression on his jailers through the saving power of the Gospel.

Two of the world’s deadliest CIA operatives are inseparable partners and best friends – until they discover that they’ve fallen in love with the same woman. Deciding to keep their friendship a secret from her, they pull out their full arsenal of fighting skills and high-tech gadgetry to defeat their greatest enemy – each other.
The entertainment in this film is there without question if you like plenty of action. The plot is interesting as two federal agents fall for the same girl and she in turn falls for them and has to decide which one she wants to be with on a permanent basis. However, the language is strong including one “F” bomb not to mention a bit of a strong sex scene and several innuendos and the violence is also enough as to warrant a three from us, which crosses Dove’s line of acceptability for family viewing.
To the film’s credit, Lauren (Reese Witherspoon) does manage to pick between FDR (Chris Pine) and Tuck (Tom Hardy) and the one not chosen even manages to find happiness as a past relationship is renewed. There is a lot of action and funny moments in the movie but we can’t recommend this one for the family.

WAR HORSE is a very beautiful movie with some overt Christian content, but it’s extremely slow and more of a work of art than a dramatic story, even though it’s set during the very dramatic period of World War I. Read More…
