Entertainment Reviews:
Rating: B- --
The three-hour film is choppy, particularly in the first half, yet ultimately is an effective, compelling retelling of the story of Jesus' crucifixion.

Boston Herald
Once more [Jesus'] persecution leads to a kind of torture porn, as it has in previous recent films on the subject. And there isn't even the payoff for Christians of depicting any resurrection in the three hour movie.

Rendered without much embellishment and acted with firmly controlled vigor, Killing Jesus, a TV adaptation of the bestselling book by Bill O'Reilly and Martin Dugard, is a fine retelling of the story of Jesus Christ as a historical figure.

Some viewers will doubtlessly be moved, but it will be more from what they bring to the table than what has been laid out for them.

Killing Jesus is, for the most part, a missed opportunity, and despite its few good points, you're likely to conclude that, once again, the book was better.

San Francisco Chronicle
"Killing Jesus" is remarkable in how it captures the devotional Jesus; it is unremarkable in showcasing the radical Jesus, that is, how he upset the status quo of the religious culture of his day

Rating: 3/5 --
A worthy addition to the canon of Christ films, if not quite touched by divine inspiration.
