This a biopic of Martin Luther (played by Joseph Fiennes), is certainly flawed in structure and jumpy (the editor seems to have given the job to his 11-year-old niece about half way through the film), but it's still an intriguing look at the person and history behind one of the most defining stances in history.
Yes, there are issues with the direction, which seems at times either trying too hard or not trying at all, and Fiennes doesn't seem to have been directed at all.
Brilliantly supported by Peter Ustinov, Fiennes is occasionally out of his depth but history buffs and Christians will find this eminently watchable and fascinating.
