Jim Caviezel does a wonderful job as JC with a demanding and strong presence, which coincidentally while filming he was struck by lightning and came down with a horrible case of hypothermia. All the performances are top notch, the sets, costumes and photography are beautiful as is John Debney's music but the graphic brutality leaves me feeling cold. Gibson portrays the guards as dim-witted and barbaric in such an exaggerated way I couldn't help but feel they'd be more suiting to Monty Python's Life Of Brian. Highly controversial subject matter and anti-Semitics aside, it's still a well-made film that may or may not come with some sort of message.
