Beyond Redemption Reviews:
I now know why this only cost me $2.99
2008-07-01 - An atheist cop (Andrew McCarthy), who lost his faith in God after a bust gone wrong, finds himself pitted against a serial killer who is effectively challenging God to try to stop him.

I bought this film for $2.99 at a discount store and now I know why the DVD was so cheap. This films starts off well and had me interested for most of its duration, but it was let down by a barely coherent ending that, after 36 hours of thinking about it, I still don't get. Based on the plot summary, you might think that this is a Christian propaganda film, but it's not. It's just a normal film with some religious themes, except the religious ideas put forward in this film are so confused, that I'm not even sure what the writer's beliefs actually are. Unless you too can manage to find a ridiculously cheap copy of this film, I wouldn't bother.


TURN OF FAITH
2004-07-04 - BEYOND REDEMPTION is a stylish, noir-like thriller featuring former bratpacker Andrew McCarthy.
A serial killer is knocking off what appears to be philanthropists, not withstanding a hooker whose john pays her 15,000 before offing her. Atheist detective McCarthy is placed in charge of the case, an interesting paradox--an atheist investigating religiously themed murders. Along with his Jewish partner (Matthew Laurance), McCarthy at first suspects another priest and then is even more horrified to find his younger brother may be a suspect. Meanwhile, his young daughter is facing life-threatening bone marrow surgery, and is questioning him about death and heaven. Michael Ironside appears as Alexander Hunt, a billionaire whose philanthropic niceties makes him a possible future victim.
BEYOND REDEMPTION has good intentions, but its ending is contrived and a faux climax doesn't help things out. Still, the cast does well and it is moody and threatening. Not a classic but you could do worse.

Beyond Redemption
2000-10-02 - Beyond Redemption is a police procedural with a religious background. An Atheist and a Jew are the detectives. It continues to be ironic and quirky all through the plot. The characters are real people with real problems, but there's enough action to suit any viewer who expects police flicks to be exciting. The acting, directing, and editing are crisp and straight up. Don't miss this film.
