The Lazarus Project

This 2008 film seemed rather intriguing by its short storyline introduction, and not to mention handsome lead actor Paul Walker as the film's main character. This was shot long before Walker hit it big with the Fast & The Furious series of movies, but it wasn't his first step in the film world either. He's been documented in the business since 1986, so he's certainly paid his dues and worked his actor muscle into the big leagues.


Written by Evan Astrowsky and Directed by John Glenn, it was maybe the blue-print and inspiration for the 2010 Shutter Island film starring Leonardo Di Caprio. Both films have such symmetry and similarities that it's pretty hard not to think of the other when watching the film. Breathtaking cinematography, pretty exceptional camera angles and last but not least Paul Walker from every delightful and desirable angle! J Not to mention a thought-provoking and thrilling script with dramatic dialogue.


I felt that it started off quite slowly and then when the audience got up to speed, it ended rather abruptly. The trickery and mystery wasn't that far-fetched but instead reasonably possible and this is why there was twice the appeal. It wasn't as harrowing or frightening as depicted in the film's biopsies, but as a substitute very exciting as new information was brought forward and discovered. Walker did a tremendous job at delivering a wide range of tormented emotions throughout the character's strange roller-coaster ride.
