The Lazarus Project

A slightly above-par mysterious thriller that unfortunately doesn’t manage to fully exploit its fantastic premise. Sometimes it’s predictable and long-winded, other times it’s surprising and pleasantly mysterious. The very weak ending is a shame, you are expecting either a brilliant twist or at the very least some sort of interesting conclusion, but instead of that you get what you get. As a directorial debut, however, The Lazarus Project is certainly worth the attention. If John Glenn isn’t afraid of toughening up a little to write a more uncompromising script, we can expect his next film to be a lot more interesting. (11.10.2008)
