The Carpenter Movie Review

The film “The Carpenter” expects to turn heads when it releases in select theaters
nationwide on Nov. 1, as the story of a champion fighter whose life is impacted
when he is befriended by a benevolent Carpenter from Nazareth.

What is The Carpenter About?

The Carpenter is a powerful tale of transformation and redemption. Set in biblical times this film showcases a life-changing journey of becoming a carpenter’s apprentice to none other than Jesus Christ. Through the timeless skills of carpentry, a path of compassion and redemption is found.

An adopted Viking orphan, Oren, becomes a carpenter’s apprentice to Jesus. The orphan fights as a side hustle. His experience training as a carpenter with Jesus as his mentor changes his lifestyle.

Who is The Carpenter Appropriate For?

While The Carpenter has an inspiring theme, there is quite a bit of violence throughout the entire movie. The fight scenes are fairly graphic and probably not appropriate for younger children or those bothered by these types of situations.

The movie is not scripture-based, so if that is what you are looking for, this movie may not be for you. The fight scenes are realistic and scripted to heavy-metal type music and many blows are delivered in slow motion for maximum impact.

Where Can I See The Carpenter?

The Carpenter opens in theaters Friday, November 1st. You can grab your tickets here.
