Sankari_Suomi Christopher H. Lambert hamfistedly mugs his way through a role better suited to his cousin, Mr Lambert. Awful, awful acting; real B grade material.A serial killer is on the loose! Can he be stopped? Yes obviously, otherwise we wouldn't have a movie. What is his motivation? We never find out, which is frustrating. Who is he? By the end of the film I still wasn't sure. Do we get plenty of plot twists? No.Its one redeeming feature is the use of rapid camera-work in the French style, still an unusual technique at the time (1999). I was genuinely impressed by this.I rate Resurrection at 13.32 on the Haglee Scale, which works out as a soporific 4/10 on IMDb.

Miss Naughtia In many ways 'Resurrection' reminds me of the movie 'Se7en', the plot seems quite similar.Christopher Lambert stars as a homicide detective who is assigned to investigate a mystical and cruel murder. When he digs deeper into the case he and his family find themselves in great danger. The killer takes different parts of each murder victim and it becomes obvious that the killer has a biblical argument for these killings.I sat down to watch this movie one night and I got stuck to my television, I just had to see the end of it because it was really catchy and exciting. I like Christopher Lambert and haven't seen him in many movies lately, I want to watch more of his movies.

quimbys I found this movie entertaining. After Se7en I have kind of expected smarter yet gruesome murder mysteries from Hollywood. I suppose this would be one.When I first began to watch Resurrection (1999) I thought it might been the movie that got ripped off and made into Se7en (1995), but then I checked and found that it had been made after Se7en. All I could wonder was who would want to do a cheap rip off of Se7en and hope it would make money? Perhaps they were trying to ride the back of Se7en's success.The similarities to Se7en are almost too strange. We have an intelligent loner detective, Prudhomme (Christopher Lambert), who unlike Morgan Freeman's Sommerset is married. However who cares? She disappears in the first third of the movie. Not to be seen again until the middle of the movie and not for long either. Prudhomme is suffering from the loneliness of a marriage marred by the loss of his only child instead, and like Sommerset, his faith in God is shaken. His younger partner, Andrew Hollingsworth (Leland Orser) is the one without anybody in his life this time. Prudhomme admires the killer's resourcefulness and intellect as he figures out early that the killer must kill si6x people to achieve his gruesome goal.The similarities do not stop there. The killer is brilliant and thinks he's carrying out God's will in some strange mission to recreate the body of Christ. He's out for notoriety and to send a message and he does manage to personalize his murders so that one of the detectives is involved deeply. When the Prudhomme and his young partner have their first face to face with the killer (in an on foot in the rain chase scene no less), the killer manages to strike major terror in a horrible confrontation with Prudhomme's partner Hollingsworth, just like the killer in Se7en with Brad Pitt's Detective Mills.Then there is the scene where a lead leads to an apartment, but it's a false lead (like the Sloth Scene in Se7en). It is very similar to the scene where, in Se7en, Sommerset and Mills think they have found the killer's apartment, but instead it's a false lead that actually is another murder victim. There is another scene that is also very similar to another part of the Sloth Scene that occurs towards the end of Resurrection as well.Another detail that was similar in both movies is when the killer in both movies, almost gets caught when they were not expecting it and so they both contact the detectives to let them know that they were pleasantly surprised that they had underestimated them and that they viewed the detectives as worthy opponents.There are tons of other little details that are similar, including the grittiness, lighting, sets, and filming style that make it reek of Se7en, only on a lower budget, which I am sure it was without Brad Pitt and Morgan Freeman.Then there is the end. Se7en had a great ending and this film, well...Maybe you should see it for yourself.
