Dove Review

“Peter – The Redemption” is an inspiring and dramatic telling of Peter’s imprisonment and eventual death for witnessing for Christ. John Rhys-Davies gives a superb performance as the matured and bold Peter, a man with a deep conviction, who convinces others that Christ did indeed rise from the dead. A follower of Jesus, Susanna (Brittany Bristow), continues to witness to a Roman guard named Martinian (Steve Byers), who is against Nero’s desire to kill Christians. The aforementioned actors give an excellent performance, and so does Stephen Baldwin, who plays Nero. He gives the Emperor a calm but lethal exterior and character.

The movie has an authentic feel with the clothing and sets matching the time period. The message is easy to understand, as the film shows that following Jesus and witnessing for him will result in eternal life but may result in persecution. We are pleased to award this film our “Faith-Friendly” Seal for ages 12-plus. This powerful drama conveys a stirring message.

The emperor accuses Christians of arson, but apparently he had the fires started himself; tension between characters; the persecution of Christians.
