  • Intriguing movie about a kidnapping and extrasensory powers

    ma-cortes2012-01-14

    A seven-year-old girl named Amy is kidnapped in the night . The mother named Sarah (Teri Polo) asks for help a radio-man with psychic powers who says to have seen her alive . The police chief (Dermot Mulroney) who is the victim's uncle assigns the case a veteran detective from Anchorage Police Department . The old , semi-retired , Inspector named John Koski (John Voight) teams with the tabloid psychic (Julian Morris) who has weird visions , both of whom to track down the missing child . Just then send a note asking an important rescue . Thrilling film that packs intrigue , strange events and plot twists. Suspense movie whose starring is the beautiful U.S. actress Teri Polo, best known for her wife role to Ben Stiller in the saga that began with 'Meet the Fockers' , however the actual protagonist is John Voight as an almost-retired detective who holds a dark past . Some scenes were predictable , but for the most part , it is a nicely-paced story with some passable intrigue and mystery . This direct to video titled 'Beyond' was filmed on location in Anchorage , Alaska and is the work by German filmmaker Josef Rusnak . He began working as a director in his native country with enough success up to U.S. co-productions filmed in English . Rusnak has developed his career mainly in the genres of suspense and terror as 'It's alive' , but also has his touches of science fiction as 'Level 13' at his best , drama as 'Valerie' , 'Quiet days in Hollywood' and action with two Wesley Snipes vehicles as 'The contractor' and 'Art of war 2' . Rating ¨Beyond¨ : Average , 5 .

  • A case of "um, did I miss something?"

    princedelapau2013-01-21

    A Yuppie couple's kid is kidnapped... OK, nothing unusual there. The couple gets woken up by the house shaking in some not-quite-spatially- timed aftermath of the kidnapping and that's when they discover their daughter is missing... Um, what? What happened? We never find out and no-one ever mentions the apparent earth tremor or whatever it was supposed to be. It could have been a good film. Not a great one, but definitely a watchable one. Sadly, despite Jon Voight creaking around in most scenes and an amusingly good-looking English psychic camping it up for all he was worth with his visions, something was missing. What could it have been...? Oh, yes - the damned plot was missing. Bad acting by both parents of the child, the baby-sitter and the rest of secondary characters whose relationship to the film eluded me; utterly ghastly direction; poor dialogue; meaningless red herrings and a whodunit that was patently obvious in the middle of the film... Avoid at all costs!

  • Not even a ghost of a chance

    Rarely will you see a movie based on a kidnapping plot devoid of thrills, tension or excitement such as Beyond. The music score again has been transplanted in from another movie. Credit to the well known actors/actress (Voight, Mulrooney and Polo) for making an effort. Their performances contrast sharply with the support cast who are appalling.But Alaska looks good. Clichés abound. Voight plays a veteran cop close to retirement, who is plagued by memories of a case gone wrong in his past from which he keeps photographs in a tin. Then there is the physic angle. Messages from the past helping to solve the cases. Everyone could be a suspect , the family, the cop, the psychic, the babysitter- oh who could it be. Who cares. At one stage Voight stops Polo from touching a hand rail to check it for prints but then lets the world and its dog handle the ransom letter from the kidnapper. When the ransom is to be delivered somehow only Voight manages not to lose the car in pursuit. Good old Jon always gets there ahead of the pack in this movie. Director Rusnak gained some credit for The Thirteenth Floor which bizarrely got name checked with the out of its league The Matrix due to having a virtual world plot line. He went on to direct a couple of Wesley Snipes straight to video turkeys and a lamentable remake of 70's schlocker Its Alive. In other words the directors resume says it all.

  • Pasable movie but not enough to be a good one

    tecnogaming2012-03-29

    The premise of this movie is pretty standard, the typical case of missing children and the psychic that see things and want to help the current cop in the case. At the same time, it is pretty standard that the cop has a relation to the missing child case since he couldn't resolve his a long time ago. I am not stating something very crucial, since the movie is pretty obvious from start to end. I am sorry to say, but, timing is not handled OK in this movie which leads us viewers to guess the ending miles ahead of it's time. If you're smart, you will find out pretty much everything in the middle of the movie, which is not a good sign for a creepy ghost/suspense/thriller. Musician tried his best with the music based on the pretty linear script, visuals on this movie on the other hand are not good, there is no suspense whatsoever and even on the creepy parts, we found out that nothing is really happening on screen, we just know it "should" be a creepy part by the music, it's like the director didn't follow the musician's enthusiasm and left there all by himself! Also, the movie doesn't take the topic very seriously, psychic powers i mean, since it is poorly handled and the creepy parts feels so rushed that just don't work on screen. John Voight is the only actor who takes this movie seriously, the rest, sorry but they don't do a good job, not credible at least. Don't get me wrong, this is not a horrible movie, it doesn't have inappropriate parts, it doesn't have violence nor bad language at all, it's very respectful of the viewer but, it just end up not being enough to save it from it's own demise. A creepy movie that doesn't scare is not a good movie. Almost fair movie, see it on cable if you don't have anything else to see, but don't have high expectations on it.

  • Average Supernatural Movie with the Usual Clichés

    In Alaska, the veteran police detective Jon Koski (Jon Voight) is near retirement and is a specialist in missing children. Koski is troubled by a failure in his past and is haunted by nightmares with a woman and the little girl Aurora. When the seven year-old girl Amy Noble (Chloe Lesslie) is abducted, Koski is assigned to the case by his chief Jack Musker (Dermot Mulroney), who is the uncle of the child. Amy lives with her parents, Musker's sister Sarah Noble (Teri Polo) and her estranged husband Jim Noble (Ben Crowley), who is an executive in oil business and former DA, and had an affair with his secretary seven years ago. Koski interrogates Amy's nanny Megan (Skyler Shaye) and she presents the psychic Farley Connors (Julian Morris) that is the host of the TV show Beyond to Sarah. Farley becomes Koski's prime suspect but soon they team up to resolve the case. "Beyond" is an average supernatural movie with the usual clichés of the genre. Jon Voight has a good performance, Teri Polo is still a very beautiful woman and the landscapes in Alaska are wonderful. However the lame and unconvincing story associated to the wooden performances of Ben Crowley and Skyler Shaye ruin this forgettable movie. My vote is five. Title (Brazil): "Do Além" ("From Beyond")
