The ordinary DVD cover for St. John in Exile belies the incredibly impressive and unforgettable performance of Dean Jones, who manages to give 110% in glorifying God through his solo role as St John, the last survivor of Jesus's 12 apostles.Dean Jones (who went to be with the Lord in 2015) manages to not only remember his lines, but give so much passion and emotion on stage, and get into several characters. Yes, this was performed live, and in fact St. John in Exile toured the USA, with Dean performing each time. There are some humorous moments, and the audience cracked up over the locust in the teeth line.I wonder how Dean managed to remember all his lines, his cues, the blocking, and so on. God was with him as he prepared to be on stage.

I recently watched this film for the first time. I found it very well done. The acting, by Dean Jones, was very impressive. I felt the scene where he portrayed the crucifixion was the best I had ever seen. It brought home to me just how much Jesus did for me when He died on the cross. I would recommend this movie to anyone who wants to know the greatness of Jesus. Jones portrays St. John as a real person. He does a marvelous job changing voices as he speaks of the different people. His humour adds to the character a great deal. The lighting and music was also well done. I would recommend this movie to everyone, even those who do not choose to believe in Jesus.

This Movie is amazing. It is a one man show (play) about the apostle John while he was exiled on the island of Patmos. Dean Jones is superb as John. It is set as if you the audience has come to the island to see him. He tells his Gospel of Jesus and shares revelation. This is an accurate presentation of the Gospel of John. This film also makes a great witnessing tool. You feel like you are actually there with him walking with Jesus. You must see this film you will not be disapointed.
