    • Trivia
      Actor Christopher Lambert, writer Brad Mirman and director Russell Mulcahy were having a meeting at an LA hotel to discuss another project that they were working on, but the trio couldn't stop talking about "Resurrection" and how much they liked the idea. The three soon abandoned the other film, and quickly decided to make this film.
    • Goofs
      (at around 1h 28 mins) Takes place in Chicago, but the train station has many signs in French as well as English, giving away the actual Toronto location. You can also see the Canadian flag hanging in the main concourse of the train station in one of the scenes.
    • Quotes

      John Prudhomme: Do you have any idea how difficult it is to get away with murder? There are fifty ways to fuck up a crime and if you can think of twenty of them, you're a genius. So far, this guy is batting a thousand.

    Gruesome story.
    Resurrection sees Christopher Lambert play in one of his more serious roles. Instead of the usual Sci-Fi, fantasy gun tooting, sword slashing role he normally plays (the Highlander movies, Fortress, Mean Guns)

    Lambert plays a hard hitting cop who is trying to track down a serial killer, once the killer has killed his victim, he takes one part of their body and uses it to reconstruct the body of Jesus Christ, which you see near the end of the movie and it's not pretty.

    The story line may freak a lot of people out but if you have a taste for crime thrillers and you have a strong stomach, then this movie is the one for you. But be warned there are a lot of gruesome scenes in this movie which I won't go into detail about. You may want to look away from some scenes.

    Overall, a good but gruesome thriller. One of Lambert's better roles.

    7/10.
