Ok, I watched this nasty film tonight ... I had seen it before a couple years back. I think it is an excellent serial killer film actually, not as good as "Silence of the lambs" or "Se7en" but it is quite intriguing for the most part ... 4/5 is my score.
Christophe Lambert is an unpopular detective who tries to solve some gruesome murders that appear to have some religious implications. A nutcase is killing people to "re-create" the body of Jesus for an upcomming resurrection that is supposed to occur ... All the victims are 33 years old, same as Jesus when he died, they all have Biblical names, etc.
Good visuals, dark and disturbing film with many nasty scenes, people being dismembered, bloodbaths, etc. It is not for the squimmish ... For example at one point a corpse is found without a head sitting on the toilet in an abandoned building, chilling sequence ... (It was not too hard to determine the cause of death in that case)
Usually I don't care for Mr. Lambert and even in this film he is not so great but I like the story enough to recommend the film highly if you like movies like "Se7en" especially. The ending is certainly a let down but I have to find some flaws since I don't give it a 5/5 !
Bye !
