This really is a 'b-movie', The plot is in fact somewhat like the b-movies of yesteryear. One major difference is the running time. 50-70 years back this would have been on a double bill with a 70-75 minute running time, THE LAZURUS PROJECT runs 100 minutes.
The script by John Glenn (he wrote Eagle Eye) is somewhat confusing, we just do not know which scenes are real & which are imagination. This was also John Glenn's first directorial effort, Its OK for a first effort.
The star is Paul Walker, he too does well,he has a limited acting range & this role suits him. The rest of the cast has many familiar faces & they do OK as well..
I must signal out one actor Malcolm Goodwin as Bobby. his portrayal of a disturbed young man is very good, I would have liked to see more of him.
This movie had no theatrical run, it was released direct to DVD. This is very prevalent nowadays to release films direct to DVD. if the box-office potential is nil.
It was made in Manitoba Canada (subbing for Oregon) it is a well made film, not great but a serviceable DVD rental.
Ratings: **1/2 (out of 4) 79 points (out of 100)* IMDb 7 (out of 10_
