Luther

Directed by: Eric Till
Starring: Joseph Fiennes, Sir. Peter Ustinov, Alfred Molina
Rated: PG-13 for disturbing images of violence

Despite the fact that the screenplay was obviously written during post-production, some semi-flat theology, and featuring some of the stalest performances ever captured, the movie Luther rises from disappointment simply by following such a brave, inspiring and interesting subject as Martin Luther. Despite faults numbering more than Luther's ninety-five theses, the film still makes you respect the man who was more dedicated to the Word of God than the surrounding powers threatening his life.
