To me, this movie is perfection.

I wanted to like it more than I actually did... But much of the humor totally escaped me and I walked out only mildly impressed.

This story has more twists and turns than a second-rate soap opera.

By the time the dramatic fireworks start popping off, each one feels earned.

Detective Ben Walls (Clayne Crawford) wakes up in a nearly abandoned hospital in Atlanta following an explosion. The first clue we get something is wrong is when the nurse talks about the upcoming Yankees-Browns football game. Ben ignores this but finds himself in weird situation. He meets a guard named Peter Grayson, called Grace for short (Gary Grubbs). We quickly get the idea that this Twilight Zone has a religious theme, one that is explained to us at 58 minutes into the feature. However, if you read the plot description provided by the production for Amazon and IMDB, then you know this plot spoiler already. I was fortunate enough to watch the film cold, which made the mystery aspect a bit more entertaining, unfortunately not entertaining enough. The theme and acting was okay. The confrontations were mostly low key and the torture aspect didn't make a lot of sense. I mean you're dead already, where are you going to go, Cleveland? I liked the nurse Delilah character (Chelsea Bruland), but outside of that, you can keep the rest.This is not exactly a faith based film, but a film that requires faith to believe. Not recommended for people who have surgery scheduled at Grady Memorial Hospital.Guide: F-word. No sex or nudity. Do you really believe?

Out of the thousand of movies I have seen, very few are able to confuse me as much as this movie. So much so, I had to share my experience.First of all, there were a few positives about this movie. It was visually pleasing with enough decent actors to enjoy and, as far as thrillers are concerned, I love movies that keep me guessing.Now for the negatives. I want a movie that keeps me guessing, sure, but only up until the end. Not after the movie is over. I have gone over and over in my mind what exactly the blazes is that I just watched. Originally, I thought that this was going to be one of those second chance movies, where the hero has to redeem himself and he can come back to life from a coma or something along those lines. Wrong. After realizing this, I could not grasp what the story was actually trying to say. All of the random additions to the movie like the many guns, the nurse who sounded like she came from the 50s, the weird shrine, why Daniel was so obsessed with the hero, the files on the table, why the hero's boss didn't tell him where he was, why the hero didn't try very hard to leave the hospital (before he realized he was dead), the whole "killing someone while in purgatory" concept, the transferring of items (the glasses) using a girl who can magically enter purgatory, etc., are virtually endless.Oddly enough, I couldn't find a twist in this mystery/thriller. Unless the twist is that you expect some sort of glorious redemption for the hero and in the end he just tortures a guy for a name of another guy who was right next to the bomb when it went off and should be dead anyway, and then after getting the name continues to beat him (apparently). It feels like there are some missing scenes that are key to putting the whole story together that would make me say "oh so THAT'S why".In conclusion, without a full explanation of the strange going-ons in this movie either before or after watching it, it is just not worth watching. Take it from me, someone who has seen almost every semi-decent+ mystery/thriller movie ever made. There are much better movies/ways to spend your time watching.

I watched this, basically as the idea (and some other reviews) intrigued me - not sure if it warranted such a low score; but I wouldn't have raised it by much (maybe a 5.0/5.5). The general idea behind it is pretty good, but would probably have made a better book than a film; and here lies the problem.Not enough is left to the psychological imagination - everything is very 'full on' to the point I wasn't sure if I was watching an action, thriller, horror or sci-fi movie. You get a bit of everything thrown at you, and sadly it gets a bit tedious and confusing after a while.The storyline could have been conveyed so much better without the 'hey ho' attitudes and rough and tumble action scenes - they just weren't needed. All these did for me was take me away from the essence of the movie until I completely lost track of what it was all about.Movie takes an interesting turn towards the end - something which I would have liked to have seen incorporated earlier, as unfortunately I had started to lose interest by this stage.Verdict: if you've absolutely nothing else to watch, give it a go. It's not a complete waste of time; but it will more than likely be easily forgotten. 5/10

I'm not sure about this one. Without giving any spoilers, its odd.The beginning is interesting, then it goes really really really bad for a while. Better adjectives? Hackneyed. Dull. Gratuitously violent. Confused.About an hour in, things take a turn for the more interesting, although the overplayed grunt of violence and US style gun fetish get tiring.There's a theme of fundamentalism, but i'm not sure that there really are any fundamental christians who act like the moron in this movie. Maybe i'm wrong and the world is a far more horrid place than i believe. At any rate, if those people do exist, i don't expect they have any supernatural abilities such as exhibited here. The suspense of disbelief required is a wee bit too far. As is the torture and violence. pointless. endless.Still, there are scenes in the film that are clever, hinting at places that a less pain and violence obsessed director could take a better movie.If you like torture movies and the supernatural and old fashioned detective movies, then perhaps this might be your thing.
