...a frustratingly surreal (and progressively interminable) piece of work.

Rated: 1.5/4

This chilling psychological thriller that keeps us hardwired to our seats gives charismatic Paul Walker a fine platform on which to display his considerable talents

For all this grumbling, The Lazarus Project is technically a well put together film. It looks good, and is reasonably well acted.

Rated: 2.5/5

Combines chilling psychological horror with other scary notions like medical experimentation, death row, criminal redemption as an extinct idea, and religious tyranny.

Okay sci-fi premise that only hints at being something more, has some holes and an execution that could have been better.

A genuinely intriguing mystery is present throughout, but the slow pace kills the movie.

I found this to be dull and slow moving, I fell asleep, and as a result, I didn't bother to watch the last 40 mins

It's a poor film, but Paul Walker saves it from coming out much worse. This performance of Walker's is the best I've seen of him away from the 'Fast & Furious' franchise, as everything else around him in 'The Lazarus Project' fails to make an impression his showing is terrific. Bob Gunton, if I had to pick someone, is the pick of the others. The story features an intriguing concept, but I can't say I was ever all that interested in it due to the way the film portrays it; which is a bit too episodic. They just show one thing, then the next and then the next and it never feels well connected. There is no mystique, despite a mystique-filled premise.
