Exodus: Gods and Kings
One of the more under-the-radar films releasing this weekend is action-drama title Exodus: Gods and Kings. Deriving directly from the Book of Exodus, the biblical inspired project directed by Ridely Scott stars Christian Bale, Joel Edgerton, John Turturro and Aaron Paul among others. Presented by 20th Century Fox, the $140 million project is unfortunately receiving mixed reviews; but given that it’s almost the holidays, many movie goers are guaranteed to at least give the project a second look – since it is the holidays.
In comparison The Gladiator (directed by same director here), this film will have way less action but a highly upgraded presentation centered on 600,000 slaves in Egypt set free by the Pharoah Ramses, Moses.
