Revelation (2001)
New spin old tale, fair to good acting, nice locations
I found the movie to have a nice pace and allowed the viewer to follow along without getting lost. While there was a lot of information and background to set up the story they did a nice job of getting you up to speed without overwhelming you at the beginning as some movies can.The acting could have been better as I have seen all of the main actors before but I don't think it mattered here. The story didn't demand that you fall in love with the performance just that you believed what they were trying to say and I did. I thought the way it was shot (kind of a low budget indie feel) added to the story as it wasn't over produced which can take away from the movie. It kind of looked like a period piece in contemporary times which worked here. I liked the look of the film, the locations shots were very attractive and didn't overpower the atmosphere and draw you away from the story. With bible themed movies popular again I thought they did a good job telling the story without being preachy or two far fetched. No surprise it didn't win any awards but for a nicely paced movie with a great villain and good looking actors worth the price of a rental.
