Doctor Rue Wakeman (Rutger Hauer) and his team create a young man with skin and organs taken from other men and women. The creature, Lazarus (Wil Wheaton), reads a lot of books and learns all about the humans. But when he meets fascinating Doctor Elizabeth English (Nia Peeples), his life changes, and he decides to escape from the laboratory. Written by Francesco Cordella - <timetolose@yahoo.com>
This movie had potential... an interesting premise... a not too bad first half... then, in the middle, it gets really really bad... screaming out for the MST3K treatment... where did those "funny cars" come from? And the skeleton appearing in the smoke of the car explosion... and the daisies in the foreground of the car chase scene... it almost looks as if someone malicious substituted "crank footage" for the last reel in a deliberate attempt to sabotage the movie.
But ultimately, if you are a Wil Wheaton fan, it's not THAT painful to watch. Well, ok, actually it is kind of painful, but it does have some genuinely interesting moments, and some touching scenes. Enough that you just have to feel bad for Mr. Wheaton... this COULD have been a much better film.
