The Lazarus Project

The twist (maybe? It's that kind of movie) almost makes the previous 90 minutes of scenes that go on way, way too long worth it. Almost.

Interesting in the way it switches between religious, sci-fi and political intrigue. But too slow and inconsequential. And I hope the place we go to after we die is not just a boring old common.

Schmaltzy ending costs it points in my book

Been there, done that

Watchable.

It's nothing new. It feels like a mix of Control (2004 with Ray Liotta), Running Scared (which also starred Paul Walker) and Vanilla Sky. It doesn't do any of them particularly well but it's nowhere near as bad as it could be. While it's cliche and you can really guess what's going on you're still entertained. While I don't consider Paul Walker amazing he is a decent lead and certainly the highlight of this film.
