One thing though: I haven't actually seen Se7en, so i never had thoughts that Resurrection was ripping it off. I wonder if Christophe had seen it, because according to him he came up with the "idea" for the movie (he is co-credited for story, along with Brad Mirman).
Resurrection is a fun, exciting movie, with Christophe in good form as Detective John Prudhomme. Credit must also be given to Leland Orser as his partner, who manages to make the audience really care for him in short space of time he has on screen, and it was a good move to have the last scence in the movie one of Prudhomme supporting him as he attempts to walk properly with his new prosthetic leg.
Robert Joy is wonderfully creepy as the 'crazy religious fanatic,' and while some reviewers have said they picked him as the bad guy as soon as he appeared on screen, I can't say the same for myself. I guess if you were thinking fairly hard as you watching the movie it would be reasonably obvious.
One scene that didn't work too well for me was when Prudhomme races home to find a woman dead on the floor, which he thinks his wife until he turns her over and realises it's his wife's best friend Jenny. I remember being somewhat confused upon first viewing as the film moves along so fast I had forgotten all about the brief mention of Jenny. I think we really needed to have been introduced to her before her untimely death (she was a babe too!)
The final confrontation is a little disapointing as well, but overall Resurection achieves it's aims quite admirably, the little bits of humour work really well too, in my opinion.
Brad Mirman wrote this, and if you want another great movie with a serial killer theme, he also wrote Knight Moves
