Users Picks DVD Releases Release Schedule Reviews Smartcine Picks Classics Home DVD REVIEW: THE FINAL INQUIRY 02/06/08 The life of Jesus of Nazareth continues to be the center of attraction for the film industry and the film "A Final Inquiry" is no exception.. The production companies Italian International Film, Enrique Cerezo Productions to name a few bring us an excellent proposal on Christian family entertainment yet the movie lacks ingredients to be called a well rounded film. The Final Inquiry has an interesting and promising plot that was not exploited and supported in cinematography. It is 35 AD and the Roman empire has heard rumors of a Jewish man named Jesus and his resurrection. In order to find out the truth, Tauro, a Roman warrior, is sent to Jerusalem to disprove the rumor . On this thrilling adventure Tauro learns the true meaning of friendship, love and faith. I While this plot is not only entertaining and contains a beautiful message, the movie fails to highlight this beauty. While the scenes flow smoothly to tell the story, the music selection did not correlate with the emotions being expressed by the scenes. In addition, in this film we see figures of history Caligula (Vincenzo Boccirelli), Pontious Pilate (Hristo Shopov) Mary Magdalene (Ornella Muti) and Mary, mother of Jesus (Maria Pia Calzone), which in spite of their short appearances were well performed yet the main characters lacked fluency in their acting and performances. The empty gaps took away from natural performances so typical of Dolph Lundgren, Daniele Liotti and Monica Cruz. If the purpose of director Giulio Base was to bring a film with a powerful message regardless of the cinematography, he has met his goal. This film comes out in DVD on February 19, 2008.

It's about the investigation by Rome into the death of Jesus.  There's plenty of historical/biblical accuracy and action with a love story...so the whole family can watch.  Great film and make you wonder what everybody was thinking when the eclipses, earthquakes, etc, starting happening! margie thomassie none I too enjoyed this movie! Great family movie...has a little bit of everything , plus a beautiful message. Jessie Girl 100 I loved this movie! it talks about the truth.....the resurrection of jesus christ, I hope everyone got it!....he is the son of god and he stands for goodness. P.S. --- 1st time I've seen Daniele Liotti as an actor, he's sooo...... beautiful! Hinda Ramsay 90 This was a surprising discovery. The actors carried us into an important period of history. It appeared to stick to the truth, as much as we are aware of it. It is among the best stories of Christ.
