"Resurrection" is another in a long line of "police procedurals", this time involving the search for a serial-killing biblical fanatic who has concocted a psychotic plan to resurrect Christ. This picture shares a number of similarities with "Se7en", in terms of plot construction but particularly in the way the grotesque aftermath of each murder is lovingly photographed (by the way, the killer is collecting body parts - an arm here, a leg there).
There are several interesting plot twists. The rest of the time is spent exploring the usual cop-movie cliches: the lead detective's a moody loner; his partner is severely injured: the captain wants to take him off the case, etc., ad nauseum.
Amazingly, the somnambulant star, Christopher Lambert, continues to work steadily, receiving role after role even though it has been proven on more than one occasion that he hasn't a clue when it comes to giving a performance. Unfortunately, he doesn't deviate from his prior track record in this film, either.
Hopefully, Mulcahy's latest film, "Talos, The Mummy" will actually get a release, instead of going direct-to-video, as this picture did.
