I went with ten others to see Risen last night. I found it to be an excellent film. As the other poster mentioned, it is a mix of fact and fiction yet the perspective is fresh and very creative. Basically I viewed Clavius (Joseph Fiennes) as observer/investigator that, becomes the personified movie goer within the film. Mr. Fiennes does an excellent job of interpreting thought through his expression all while playing the tough tribune. I recommend this movie to anyone who enjoys acting and movies that are thought provoking. Most of all, it is all to do with the most important decision in a person's life!
