The Lazarus Project (2008)




5/10

Slow but builds up towards the end

The Lazarus Project is about a former criminal is drawn into a criminal endeavor and subsequently finds himself living an inexplicable new life working at a psychiatric facility.(imdb)

The storyline feels similar to Shutter Island, except this is not apparent until the later half of the movie but before you can state the similarities The Lazarus Project takes a turn. The movie is fairly slow but despite the slow pace the movie kept me intrigued.

The strong dialogue and multiple use of canted camera angle makes this film fairly interesting and engrossing. Together these elements create a suspenseful and mysterious atmosphere.

Give this movie a shot, plow through the slow bits and you may find yourself liking this film.
