The Rotten Tomatoes Rating is a joke. Talking about how Gory the movie was for a Christian movie is stupid. The movie follows the bible 100% the movie is showing what Jesus put himself through for our sins. I love the movie very good at following the bible and it is very emotional. This film is probably my most favorite movie out so far. I Recommend this movie to all Christians and all Sinners.
