Very strange setting
Film version of the Andrew Lloyd Webber rock musical of the same name, and - unfortunately - it doesn't quite work.

Personally, I think that's because of the juxtaposition of the events being (re)told through the eyes of Judas Iscariot alongside the more modern setting, which is just *odd*: here, for example, the Roman empire seems to have access to jet fighters, tanks and rifles (amongst others ...)

I think if they had stuck to a more 'traditional' production design instead of trying to marry the story with a modern setting it would have worked better.

Every Time I Die does have a bit of a slow start as we are introduced to Sam and his friends and he always seems to be the odd one out, there is something that is just not right with Sam, not in a bad way but in a way that even Sam isn’t sure about himself, the opening of the movie with Sam waking up and the first person camera view is a little strange, but it works very well and certainly sets you on the path that this film is going to be unusual and thought-provoking.

Disappointing compared to the trailer (0 more)
It's no Gladiator
Well this is billed as this generations Gladiator, sadly not anywhere near that epic. It is hard to think of what to say about it, strange at times, very violent and brutal with a tale of revenge running through its core. Then it takes a slightly different direction and slows the pace considerably as well as looking quite small in scale from what was billed. Definitely falls into the category of the trailer looked better than the film as a whole. Enjoyable still but not the grand revenge film I expected.
