"The Book Of Daniel" Is Great To Read (Or Watch)

The Book of Daniel (2013)

Starring Robert Miano, Andrew Bongiorno, Lance Henriksen

Directed by Anna Zielinski

The Story:

 Daniel (Miano) recounts his service to 4 Kings to Cyrus (Henriksen) through a series of flashbacks that takes place over the 70 years of captivity that the Israelites endured under the Babylonian empire. With each King, and each story, Daniel's faithfulness to God never falters.

Even when thrown into a lion's den.

The Bible.

Perhaps you've heard of it, and now brought to life some of the tales from the Book of Daniel.

It's a period piece, nothing that spectacular in the costume, acting of writing department.

But the stories themselves carry a lot of weight, all these centuries later.

A great book, a not terrible adaptation.

Available to stream instantly on Netflix as of this writing.

Final Grade: C...maybe even C+

Rewatchability/Purchase Factor: It was a nice reminder about how nice the book is. I'll read that again first. :)
