After the death of his father, a fighter becomes an apprentice to a mysterious carpenter.

Mira Fox

The Forward

The Carpenter makes no attempts to authentically portray life and practices in ancient Israel. It doesn’t even portray biblical events. The two plot lines — MMA and Jesus — have seemingly nothing to do with each other.

Rated: D

Not nearly as tasteless as one would hope for in "Jesus Didn't Tap: The Movie." It's less like "what if Jesus taught MMA" and more like "what if Jesus was the wise auntie in a Hallmark rom-com."

Rated: C

This action drama will especially hit home for serious fans of faith-based films.

I am sure the intentions are all for the best with The Carpenter but it was simply too strange a combination of elements for me to recommend.

A wildly entertaining and imaginative interpretation of biblical history. You've never seen a faith-based movie like this before.

Great story line, however we would have liked to see more about Yeshua, less fight scenes. Overall definitely worth watching.

I thought this movie would cover the life of Christ! Instead it is about a fighter named Orin! Nothing biblical about it . Instead some things that were not even accurate about the time period. Referring to people dating, lifting weights, punching bags and not wearing head coverings. Just ridiculous. Sorry I wasted money on it!
