With parole almost behind him, Ben (Paul Walker) can't believe how much he has to be thankful for: a beautiful wife, an adorable little girl and a steady paycheck. Life is good. But when he unexpectedly loses his job, Ben foolishly turns back to crime, joining his ex-con brother (Shawn Hatosy) in a robbery with deadly consequences. Suddenly facing a lethal injection, Ben must say goodbye to his family and prepare himself for the worst. But his death sentence isn't quite what it seems, as Ben regains consciousness near an eerie psychiatric ward, where he's told he's been hired as the groundskeeper. With the state of his soul in question, and the love for his wife and daughter all the more real and powerful, Ben must figure out if he's truly cheated death, or if he's become part of something far more sinister.

The Lazarus Project is one of those convoluted films that keeps throwing twists at you, only to end up as a complete mess by the time it’s over. It tries to shock you with its story, but ultimately just turns into a bit of a joke.
()
A slightly above-par mysterious thriller that unfortunately doesn’t manage to fully exploit its fantastic premise. Sometimes it’s predictable and long-winded, other times it’s surprising and pleasantly mysterious. The very weak ending is a shame, you are expecting either a brilliant twist or at the very least some sort of interesting conclusion, but instead of that you get what you get. As a directorial debut, however, The Lazarus Project is certainly worth the attention. If John Glenn isn’t afraid of toughening up a little to write a more uncompromising script, we can expect his next film to be a lot more interesting.
