The Body (2000)

£0.00


Country: US/GER
Technical: Technicolor/Panavision 109m
Director: Jonas McCord
Cast: Antonio Banderas, Olivia Williams, John Shrapnel, John Wood, Jason Flemyng, Derek Jacobi

Synopsis:

A Jewish archaeologist uncovers a tomb which appears to be that of Jesus Christ, only it awkwardly houses a set of bones. Could this threaten christendom's faith in the resurrection? The Vatican despatches a priest accustomed to working in dangerous political locations to prevent such evidence from coming to light. A Palestinian group and orthodox Jews also take an interest in the dig.

Review:

An interesting premise soon dissipates into a half-hearted action thriller, with sinister cardinals and chief of police, and the lack of any possible relationship between the principals militates against involvement with the characters.
