I recommend this unique perspective of Christ's sacrifice to anyone looking for a heartwarming story. It was nice watching a movie about the two thieves as this story isn't told enough. A fascinating story of irony, almost like a parallel of the parable of the pharisee(Benyamin) and the tax collector(Demas). While I personally feel that it should've been the other way around since this cliché has been overdone with the pharisees vs sinners in really every movie about Jesus, this is still one of the best movies I've ever seen. I just wish it was longer.

Well done, nice background story
axibxi14 March 2020
One can clearly see that it is a low budget production, but that small budget has come a long way. Nice authentic feeling background story, locations, costumes, etc. New approach to an old story from a different angle. Would habe loved it to be a full lenght movie since the character development was great and could have explored so much more if there were have been more time. Clearly this crew is talented and the film worth watching!
Loved it!

If you have heard the story of the two thieves on the crosses next to Jesus on Crucifixion Day, and have wondered what crimes they had committed, or what their lives were like - this show is for you! Imaginative backgrounds, good stories, and gives you something to think about. While these stories are not found in the Bible, they are plausible imaginings told creatively.
Amazing!

interesting perspective
Kirpianuscus8 April 2023
It is smart crafted story about the reasons, roots, facts, status of the two men crucified near the Savior. A simple story, nice to realistic details, interesting social fresco and fair exploration of the univers of the period.
A film for many reasons, just surprising. Touching and honest and good source of questions and presumed answers . And, maybe not surprising, a film not reduced at the familiar recipe of Christian movies , against the obvious low budget.
In short, a beautiful film for the precise and smart perspective about a great event who you are convinced to know very well.
The freshness of perspective, the reference to a future series from Chosen are basic tools for feel this film as remarkable.
