Raw, visceral, & accurate to biblical texts as well as historical accounts told by Jewish rabbi's. Phenomenal casting with impeccable acting. The sets are breathtaking with the screen writing rivaling The Chosen or non biblical shows. Stephen Lang commands the screen where you crave more scenes with Samuel. Ali Suliman's portrayal of King Saul not only makes you feel pity for him but also cheers for his downfall especially thanks to Ayelet Zurer's gifted performance as the queen. Expect to see more great things from newcomer Michael Iskander. It is wonderful to see Oded Fehr in a key role as always in any role he undertakes holding his own amongst lead characters.

Wildly original inventive take on an timeless story. Hits an emotional tone often downplayed. Neal McDonough is exceptional as is the rest of the cast in their respective roles.... leaves you questioning what would you do. Key thoughts on how and why the movie takes places runs a little loose but holds up well..... it has its moments in the middle of them film that can be stagnant but it writing was so well done it anticipates it and throws you back full swing into anticipating what can and will happen next.

In the land of reboots, sequels, prequels and do overs this film shows that in this day in age you can still go to the movies and be wowed remembering why we venture out to the theatres.

Honestly best adaptation of a video game to movie. It does for video games what marvel did for comic books.
