Cheating death is only the beginning
After Ben Garvey foolishly turned back to crime, he thought his life was over when he was sentenced to death by lethal injection. 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.

It's a poor film, but Paul Walker saves it from coming out much worse. This performance of Walker's is the best I've seen of him away from the <em>'Fast & Furious'</em> franchise, as everything else around him in <em>'The Lazarus Project'</em> fails to make an impression his showing is terrific.
