Peter and Paul

I rented this movie from Netflix. It starts Anthony Hopkins as Paul and Robert Foxworth as Peter. It has some deviation from historical stringency but all in all the message of the Gospel is preserved and Anthony Hopkins did his best acting performance ever. This movie is 3 hrs and 14 minutes long and very rich in theology.

I recall watching it when it was on television (yes, can you believe it, television), and remembering it was fairly faithful, esp. with the message of the gospel. We actually purchased a copy of it a couple years ago to show to our children and other youth for discussion purposes.
