What makes this version of the Jesus Movie a powerful one is the fact that it is in Arabic! Unlike previous versions of the movie, almost most of the actors are from Palestine and Jordan (with few from Bulgaria). The movie has been able to carefully capture the life of Jesus according to the Gospel of Luke, with miracles not previously shown in other Jesus films. The actor Shredy Jabarin did a phenomenal job in acting out the gentle yet wise character of Jesus, and the overall choice of actors has been wonderful. The movie however lacks the proper graphic effects and make-up is a bit poor during the Crucifixion scene. I give two thumbs up for Music, Acting and Directing.
