Note: I said the film is the most violent I have ever seen. It will probably be the most violent you have ever seen. This is not a criticism but an observation; the film is unsuitable for younger viewers, but works powerfully for those who can endure it. The MPAA's R rating is definitive proof that the organization either will never give the NC-17 rating for violence alone, or was intimidated by the subject matter. If it had been anyone other than Jesus up on that cross, I have a feeling that NC-17 would have been automatic.

No, he didn't post here, but that is from his Review. I forget what the word limit was when posting a quote, but I think with a link, that it is acceptable. Correct this if it's too long.

I am surprised about people being surprised that this would be a violent film. This is our LORD and saviour being killed. Of course it touchs home like probably no other film has, and may seem disturbing, but at that time that is what Jesus went through if not more.
