Well, I'd heard about this and I just hadda see it when it rolled around on cable. Shoot, it's even worse than I could've imagined.
Michael York must have been really desperate for money to show up in this (although he does his usual good job, I must admit--he really is a trooper). OTOH, Casper Van Dien's performance in this serves only to remind you that his appearance in "Starship Troopers" was Oscar-caliber by comparison. And the constant rewriting of the Bible to suit the filmmaker's or producer's own agendas is really embarrassing to anyone who actually knows their Bible history.
I'd have to rank this film as second only to "Battlefield Earth" for the title of "Bad Film of the Decade."
