Jesus Hopped the ‘A’ Train occurs almost entirely within the one-hour-per-day periods when two Rikers Island prisoners—Angel Cruz (Anthony Lam) and Lucius Jenkins (Bobby Bermea)—get to see the sun. Cruz awaits trial for the attempted murder of a cult leader (though Cruz says he "just shot him in the ass"). Jenkins, a serial killer who has found Christ in jail, passes time attempting to convert Cruz. Truth be told, it's about as predictable as most stories about Jesus, but the performances—especially from Lam and Bermea—make it hard to look away. THOMAS ROSS
