CHILDREN SHOULDN'T PLAY WITH DEAD THINGS October 3, 2004
Michael Butts (Martinsburg, WV USA)

POSTMORTEM is one of those psychological thrillers that bends the plot lines and incorporates confusing motivations in order to forward its plot. While it doesn't quite come up to par, it is a tidy little thriller with an interesting performance from Stephen McCole, who plays the necromancer and obvious fan of writer Charlie Sheen's book on serial killers. Sheen himself is a suspect at first as the killer is sending him advance fax notices of the deaths, and a body is found in Sheen's garden. Charlie plays a down and out, alcoholic former cop who left the States to wind up in Scotland, where the movie takes place. Sheen sobers up to help the local law officials track down this criminal. Sheen does an okay job as Jimmy McGregor, although he seems disoriented at times when he shouldn't. The role of McCole's sister in the plot is never fully explained, nor is the father's, but that's part of the psychological ambiguity parlayed in this film. It does have a touching rendition of "Amazing Grace" at the end, but we still don't know what kind of future Sheen will have. Not totally satisfying, but not a bad movie either. Just average.
 another Albert Pyun stink bomb September 2, 2004

To my knowledge, Albert Pyun has a record of doing bad movie: Crazy Six, Adrenalin Fear The Rush, Cyborg and many others, though Mean Guns is his best work. Here he does another crappy job with who, you might say..Charlie Sheen (Tv's Spin City, The Big Bounce) of all people. Sheen plays a was been cop who got divorced and he has a booze problem. He also has written a book on about serial killers. Things dont happen until the cops find the first body in the garden and it seems interesting but the mind decieves and it turns out to be a pile of waste. The Killer is a necrophiliac and likes to lay with the bodies and so forth....wow, I think. Sheen drops his booze binges and helps out the cops. Wall to wall stupidity. Very predictable. The end where Sheen is running after the guy is hilarious. They both seem to run like Steven Seagal or something. Also starring Ivana Milicevic (I think she is a model of some sort) and Michael Halsey (Mean Guns, Tv's Angel).
 A great story with an excellent Charles Sheen August 18, 2000

The story could have been written by Stephen King: Psychologically down because of the emotional stress of his job ex-investigator and bestseller author James MacGregor (Charles Sheen) moves from America to the Scottish Highlands. But instead getting some peace to sort out his life he becomes the target of an serial killer who sends him faxes to announce upcoming murders. A dead girl found in his garden makes him the local police's No.1 suspect. This means back to work for MacGregor to find the true killer. Charles Sheen's performance is absolutely brilliant, another proof of his wide spread talents as an actor. Seems he easily plays every role, no matter if it's comedy or serious material.
 good crime flick April 6, 2000

Good comeback role for Sheen.About a messed up kid who has an inkling towards dead women,and the Scottish investigators and washed out American detective/writer who tracks him down.Plays like a fast-paced episode of "The Bill" and lots of morbid connotation.Overall while lacking the original touch present in crime movies these days,it still has a slight edge over it American counter parts.
