Gurlyndrobb While it doesn't offer any answers, it both thrills and makes you think.

thomaxz-tc This was a great movie.The actors are good and the characters are interesting enough to be invested over, the whole idea reincarnation added a new side to a movie of this genre I have not seen before.The whole idea of Simon Sachs remembering is good, and the contrast with Robert Stern not believing it functioned well.The direction and acting was good and I liked the style of the movie.I liked the ending as well.So I give this movie a 9 of 10 as was excellent good (not excellent excellent)

Hamza Robin I am not a professional critic, but I am person who love cinema, and knows what to like. and I liked this movie very much. if their was something i didn't like, it was Erica's reaction to potential threats while he was searching for the bridge with the boy. I believe he should have been more violent. but anyway, that was the character how the director wanted it, and Erica has done that perfectly.the core story in the movie isn't about the serial killer, it is about child trafficking and illegal porn. the serial killer, and his relation to the child comes in the second place. and at the third place comes the story of the detective's son. connection of those three stories in this movie is the amazing thing that made me to write this review.talking about the story, in my opinion, this type of movies is what i call a high end story, from the aspect of respecting the audience, which is not strange for European directors. am not going to spoil the movie more, but i would advise anyone searching a movie that respects his mind to watch this movie, you will be touched, and you will be entertained.

TheCornProject What can be said about this movie? For the people who don't like long reviews I'll save you the effort & just sum it up with the sentence "read the title of this review". I hope that is suffice. Now to people who prefer for me to explain the movie in detail & why I didn't like it, here goes. So the story is set in Germany, why? Who knows, I'm still trying to figure that one out. The plot follows a strange terminally ill boy who claims to have not only been reincarnated but also has vivid memories of his former life as a brutal serial killer. This is never explained. So along comes Robert Stern (Eric Roberts), a big shot defense lawyer who was once the partner of the boy's mother/guardian named Carina (Sunny Mabrey). For whatever convoluted reason, Carina wants Robert to help explore her son's twisted thoughts by uncovering the victims he supposedly killed in his past life. Initially skeptical, Robert quickly jumps on board when the bodies start piling up. I also forgot to mention that he is also being extorted by a mysterious entity who is holding his wife & supposedly dead child captive but it's not worth explaining because it contributed nothing to the overall plot.So roughly, for the next 90 minutes we watch the boy follow one clue after the next while they begin to uncover a child pedophilia ring. Here is where I give a warning to some sensitive viewers. Pictures of naked children are actually shown in one scene. I couldn't believe my eyes but it's true. Also an old man acts sexually towards the boy as he 'grooms' him for what's to come. I thought it was done in poor taste by the director. However it is a European film so I guess strong sexual themes are to be expected. The second half of the film is a prolonged & bloated mess where there are ridiculous plot twists that extend well beyond the realm of disbelief. Another point to add is that the end credits were 20 MINUTES long. I swear, the film makers must have included half of the German phone directory among the list of credits.From beginning to end, this movie couldn't decide what plot it wanted. Was it the plot about the terminal kid trying to cope with his impending death; was it the one about Eric Roberts dealing with the death of his newborn or was it a tale about a serial killer who needed two lives to exact his revenge? It's a shame to see decent actors like Eric Roberts and Peter Greene waste their obvious talent on this pointless drivel. Regardless, both of these actors gave solid performances under the conditions & made this film at least mildly bearable to watch. 2/5

Puffer Bluntman At first the movie takes a pretty serious turn, but then starts jumping back and forth as if not sure what tone to contain, so it just tone-shifts allover.The actors are decent and the characters are interesting enough to be invested over, but the story suffers from all the psychological triller clichés we've seen a thousand times before.The ending is one big giant letdown, and the last act of the movie is just characters explaining the plot to the audience - which is not such a bad thing considering how confusing the film is due to its tone-shifting issues - although you can't help but keep expecting the phrase "And I would've gotten away with it if it wasn't for you meddling kids" to pop up. Don't waste your time on this one, watch 'Silence of the Lambs' instead.
