Mortis and Bigelow are cops that are chasing crooks that are turning up dead for a second time.
Someone has discovered how to bring back the dead and is sending them on crime sprees. Now these decomposing criminals are in the way of officers Mortis and Bigelow.
When Mortis is killed he gets Resurrected, but has only a short time to find out who is behind it all before he decomposes.......it might be that really famous star from the fifties and sixties who is in this for about five minutes....
Without the high concept twist, which is admittedly funny, this would just be another generic buddy cop movie with silly one liners and not much else.
The high concept is good, and it works for the most part, but like officer Mortis, it runs out of steam before the film ends. The first act is great though, and its surprising at just how violent and inventive the special effects are, theŷ really are the best part of the film.
As soon as Mortis is resurrected, the film goes over the top, and not in a good way. Bigelows one liners become more desperate, and Williams resorts to wearing lipstick, and more makeup in every other scene.
But its still a fun movie, not as good as I remember, and on the plus side the high concept is original.
And any film that feature Vincent Price in a white suit, and a man exploding, is worth watching...isn't it?
