By LINDSEY BAHR AP Film Writer Modern faith-based films don't have a stellar track record when it comes to quality. But they seem to both serve their intended audience and make money along the way, and, because of that, are given an implicit pass to exist some- where outside of the expecta- tions placed on traditional films. That's why "Risen" is such an interesting and even promis- ing departure. It looks and feels like a film that just happens to fit into the faith-based genre instead of a faith-based infomercial that sort of resem- bles a film at least at first. credit to That's all Kevin Reynolds, whose past films include "Robin Hood: Prince of Thieves," ''Waterworld" and "The Count of Monte Cristo." With "Risen," Reynolds has endeavored to make a more classical biblical epic told in an original way as a bureaucratic investigation into the resurrection.
Joseph Fiennes' Clavius anchors the story an ambi- tious, unsentimental Roman sol- dier who is helping Pontius Pilate (a funny, exasperated Peter Firth) deal with his Nazarene problem. Clavius is just an agent of his bosses, car- rying out tasks with the hopes of eventually making it to Rome, where he hopes to find wealth, power and a good family. We see him go straight from battle to the crucifixion of the man who has caused such a stir in Judea as though he's just check- ing tasks off a list. Clavius speeds up with cru- cifixion by ordering the body punctured, which seems to be the end of it, but of course all goes to hell when Jesus's dead body (they refer to him here as either the Nazarene or Yeshua) goes missing from the tomb, and Clavius is on the hook for tracking it down. The stakes are no less than Clavius's future and Pilate's control.
The film progresses from there much like a police proce- dural. With a skeptical eye and a green right-hand apprentice to teach Potter's" Tom Fel- ton), Clavius rounds up suspects and interested parties to try to find out what happened to the body the f*ckless soldiers who were guarding the tomb, an elderly blind lady, Mary Magda- lene (Spanish actress Maria Botto), and a hippie dope. There's almost a "Dragnet" wit to things as Clavius questions the eccentrics and zealots brought to tears by the mere thought of the miracle. And it all works fairly well. Reynolds has not phoned this effort in and avoids the preachy that so many modern faith-based efforts take as canon.
Besides keeping a sense of humor about itself, "Risen" looks good too. Filmed in Spain and Malta, the dusty, sun-bat- tered landscapes evoke the ancient setting of this remote outpost. Fiennes also does a nice job of keeping things grounded, but everything changes when Clav- ius sees Yeshua (played by New Zealand actor Cliff Curtis) alive and well and hanging out with the Apostles he'd dismissed as quacks. He's not an immediate convert, but this begins his tran- sition from hard-boiled cynic to weepy believer. It's in this third act that "Risen" devolves in both story and artfulness and becomes more cheesy Sunday School commercial than film.
The inevitability of Clavius's transition is perhaps to blame, making the film feel like two pieces that don't quite fit togeth- er. He stops questioning things altogether. The swift and com- plete transformation simply doesn't ring true for the charac- ter. How Joe Friday found his faith is an interesting premise. "Risen" gets halfway there, but it goes into auto-pilot where it matters the most.
"Risen," a Columbia Pictures release, is rated PG-13 by the Motion Picture Association of America for "biblical violence including some disturbing images." Running time: 108 minutes. Two stars out of four.

(AP) A widow urged New highest court Thursday to reinstate a lawsuit involving a television episode featuring her treatment and death at a New York hospital.
The show included a segment about Mark Chanko, who was brought into the emergency room at New York-Presbyterian Hos- pital in April 2011 after he was hit by a truck while crossing a street near his home on the Upper East Side. Though unidentified with his image blurred, Chanko could be heard, at one point asking, you speak to my Anita Chanko, who learned of the filming when it was broadcast in 2012, sued the hospital, treating physician and American Broadcasting Companies for violation of patient privacy and intentional infliction of emotional distress. Her attorney Norman Olch argued before the Court of Appeals that the broadcasters have family permission to film, and there were cameras in the operating room. The conduct the sense of decen- cy and he said. is right in there, working with the physicians, working with the doctors, to breach this confidential relationship with the Olch said.
lawyer Nathan Siegel said the network tried not to reveal identity and when that work immediately corrected it with deletions. are all kinds of situations where journalists report informa- tion that is confidential to somebody Siegel said. vast major- ity of the people depicted on these shows have given consent. Why that happen in this particular case, I Attorney Michael Cohen, who represents the hospital and Dr. Sebas- tian Schubl, a surgical resident who diagnosed Chanko, said that his heart stopped three times and he was given drugs for pain and sedation and that he died 54 minutes after he arrived at the hospital.
notion that he noted among the team of trauma physicians and nurses attending him that there may have been others holding cameras elsewhere in the room is remote, or that he was damaged, harmed or upset by that is even more Cohen said.
