“[the] film adopts a lighter, more playful tone than most Hollywood biblical epics…unlikely to ascend to the upper echelons of faith-based cinema, culturally or commercially.” -Justin Chang –Variety

“lacking the visceral intensity of that Mel Gibson film and not offering much of interest to the secular crowd, Risen isn’t likely to rise very far at the box office.” – Frank Scheck –The Hollywood Reporter
