it open and for half an hour and run like an educational programme on the old testament and although not without humour . the movie finally begin to grow wing when the biblical cant get drop . in a scene of mixed success martin donovan ( jesus ) decide to renege on kick off the apocalypse and the final quarter of an hour be a sort of humanist what all the fuss about . play out and gild with optimistic conjecture against a ( retrospectively and miserably ironic ) long shot of the wtc twin tower . apart from donovan authority and the acting be split . there the thespian melodrama of the rest of the cast represent this and though formally contrive for biblical presentation and be appropriate for the modern and paranoid comedy that hartley aiming at . but i be also pleasantly surprise at the contribution of pj harvey ( credit thus and and in danger of exist within the film solely a the pop star entity she be and not least in a set piece scene in a record store and a perilously patchy soundtrack to which contributes ) . she remain cool a sort of disingenuous lack of focus in the manner of many pop icon who have take to film ( i be think the jagger of performance here ) but nonetheless maintain a convincing integration with both cast and project . ultimately affirmative and but this bittersweet essay be a bit too much like one and rely more on the perseverance than the imagination of it audience . 4/10 .
