Claysaba Excellent, Without a doubt!!
Kaydan Christian A terrific literary drama and character piece that shows how the process of creating art can be seen differently by those doing it and those looking at it from the outside.
Nicole I enjoyed watching this film and would recommend other to give it a try , (as I am) but this movie, although enjoyable to watch due to the better than average acting fails to add anything new to its storyline that is all too familiar to these types of movies.
Jenni Devyn Worth seeing just to witness how winsome it is.
izz mad OK. First said, I just wanted to check whether this movie has an average rating below or exactly -1. But 5,9. This is sicker than any of the killers' proceedings -,- . That made me curious what people wrote here.. which in the end made me set up an account to give my 2cents of truth into this "well of delusion" i find here.How dare you guys even MENTION this movie in the same sentences as e.g. Seven? The only thing they got in common is that they show various crime-scenes. That-is-it. And "Best thriller of 1999!" ? have you even watched another movie form that year? Or any other movie in your life at all? 1999 is not a year which people are reminded of by RESURRECTION... what's with actual MOVIES like 8mm, Eyes wide shut, Arlington Road, Double Jeopardy? (Theyre actually more a "thriller" than this one could ever be..). Resurrection does not even deserve to be dedicated to A SECOND of 1999.Really, you guys can't be serious. I watched that movie yesterday with my girlfriend, highly recommended by a friend of her. A "great film with Christopher Lambert"! ...which I had not yet seen? Hmm.. Well, first look on the Covers: OK, nothing special. At second glimpse you don't need to have supernatural powers to be aware that they simply mirrored Lambert's head, clipped his nose 'n this&that, then made a fancy negative pattern on top of it, to get the killers image on the COVER. You could even think they had some apprentice eat a gallon of marshmallows just to caption that creepy (booooh! -.- ) mouth.. whatever. Turned it around and the plot starts with.. "it's raining in Chicago... blabber blabber". Come on, a six year old could have made that snippet sound more exciting. Now, with this enormous excitement coming from the movies terrific presentation -.- , you absolutely wanna start watching it. Because it can't be that bad, it still is Christopher Lambert. That assumption of mine was proved wrong. WIth "proven wrong" i mean it was brutally executed by a deadly mix of the worst imaginable acting ever known to mankind (every actor, but the tops are the "i can do 1-Liners!" police chief, Prudhommes Wife __ actually a better detective than Prudhomme when she recombines several incidents to a yet ABSOLUTELY UNKNOWN hint in the case!!!! -.- __ and .. yes.. Prudhomme himself) featuring a squadron of inhuman fake feelings, logic errors in a 1-minute-cycle, light-years far-fetched conclusions which in my point-of-view represent an insult to any thinking human being and last but not least a camera-man who obviously was a hyperventilating kangaroo. Oh well, and if you do not completely shut down your brains (these aren't premises to watch it) then you should know who is who and what is what after max. 30minutes, simply because you know ANY scene after the first. That is thrilling. Thrilling because this movie almost makes you think you can tell the future. The bottom line: This is BY FAR the worst movie I can remember. Trust me, I've seen many horrible movies which in some way were at least only bad attempts or bad copies of another movie. Resurrection however, is the best example on how to fail in every aspect possible. It was so bad that after being shocked by its unimaginably low quality in e-v-e-r-y-t-h-i-n-g, I laughed more often than in any recent comedy, simply because I was fascinated by the crew's brazenness to publish such an -extraordinary- film strip. Good thing for Lambert he was in Highlander:Endgame a year later, thus he can be pardoned. ;^OAnyhow, I DO recommend watching this movie to EVERYONE. In the end, we had great fun watching it :^D. I guarantee you, after you completely watched Resurrection (be brave, you can do it!) , you will worship the level of acting in any given daily soap. Or just go 'n watch highlander one more time... that's what I'm gonna do.
dragster-2 I saw this movie on TV for the first time. Right from the beginning, I had a strange feeling of sickness and disgust and the top scenes were not even on yet. It is compared to Se7en, but I feel it has more action in it while the gore is the same in both movies. The serial killer is very disturbing and has no pity towards his victims like most "respected" SKs. I don't remember the soundtrack to the movie, but I think it does give that eerie touch to a movie that is in itself disturbing all along. The killer doesn't give himself away that easily and he is seriously involved in what he's doing. The final scene is one of the best in horror movies, but can be quite sickening for many light-hearted viewers.
Lost_Highway Reading reviews this seemed like an interesting premise, sadly it doesn't manage to pull it off, instead of trying for some originality it decides to throw in as many clichés as possible, right up to the final showdown between cop and killer (One day I'd like to see a killer actually end up in jail!) even stooping to someone getting tripped over during a chase by a trolley in a hospital (what the hell was someone doing pushing that trolley around anyway??? Everyone else was out cold on that floor!) The worst part of the movie is that the identity of the killer is so predictable they may as well have had a big sign slapped to his forehead reading "I AM THE KILLER". The way it was done meant that within 5 minutes of meeting him you know he is going to be the "twist" in the tale.All the other thriller clichés are present, cop who has had some tragedy in his life and carries a lot of emotional baggage, chief of police announcing "you are off this case, I'm putting xxx and xxx on the job", main characters partner being the one who is injured, thus causing more emotional grief for the lead.It's plus points are some reasonable uses of supporting characters, there are other cops involved in the case who actually seem to have some clue as to how to be policemen (but of course it's always down to out lead to figure every clue out).So all in all and interesting idea that just turned out to be another run of the mill Hollywood style thriller. I wonder if someone somewhere has a book called "Thriller Scriptwriting 101" that hasn't been updated in the last 30 years.
courtney woods this movie is by far one of my favorite movies. To me in my opinion it gives a very gripping performance, and it is very interesting. The movie has even gotten me wanting to become either a forensic photographer, or a detective because it seems like a lot of fun. I have heard many people say it is a very stupid movie with no meaning at all, well whoever said that either hasn't set through it all the way or else just don't like the same stuff i do, but i did find this movie very enjoyable although all the dead bodies wouldn't be suitable for children. The fact that it is base on a religious type of murder/crime is very interesting to me. Oh, and i though that Christopher Lambert gave an extremely wonderful performance. So if i could judge this movie i would say a 9 out of 10.
