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. Go to Full Review

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." Go to Full Review
Monique Jones Common Sense Media 11/06/2024
This action drama will especially hit home for serious fans of faith-based films. Go to Full Review

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. Go to Full Review

I give my props to The Carpenter for combining Jesus and MMA. Go to Full Review
Avi Offer NYC Movie Guru 10/30/2024
A wildly entertaining and imaginative interpretation of biblical history. You've never seen a faith-based movie like this before. Go to Full Review

Jody B 12/06/2024 Loved Loved Loved this movie See more Mae J 11/15/2024 Great story line, however we would have liked to see more about Yeshua, less fight scenes. Overall definitely worth watching. See more Rose 11/13/2024 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! See more Terri Y 11/09/2024 There was never a dull moment. The well-written storyline kept my interest and attention throughout the movie. See more Charmaine 11/08/2024 Loved the movie, great storyline See more L.M. 11/06/2024 Great movie to see with the family! Great lessons. See more Read all reviews
