Review of Resurrection

Resurrection (1999)
3/10
An insult to anyone seeing it
21 August 2002
Taste differs. But after seeing this 120 min long picture and afterwards checking the ratings I must confess a deep dissapointment of my fellow raters. This film is a total orgy of all the things that defines the gengre (thriller): Smart cop with immense social problems, wierd bad guy with unessesary nasty methods & even wierder motives, ticking clock and of course: The unbelievable clues. This kind of setup actually works in some movies (Seven i.e.) but given that a child would direct it better, it only worsens the situation for this picture. C. Lambert is not as bad as he is in this film. But here he lowers my rating for this film from a weak 4 to 3. Nothing, except possible the bad guy (and hardly even that, now that I think of it) has been done in an either interesting or good way. Every scene makes you wonder if all the coworkers at the set were at least slightly ashamed after seeing the final film. After one hour every scene makes you laugh and after another 20 min you stare in bevilderment as grossly over-dramatised acting displays reason beond doubt not to ship the crap overseas. I cannot express myself more clearly, its a misstake from everyone involved.
