Actuakers One of my all time favorites.

MoPoshy Absolutely brilliant

Casey Duggan It’s sentimental, ridiculously long and only occasionally funny

Raymond Sierra The film may be flawed, but its message is not.

amesmonde Haunted by a case from his past an Alaskan detective due for retirement must find a kidnapped girl and reluctantly enlists the help of a psychic who is also a prime-suspect.It's nice to see John Voight in a lead role where he belongs instead of a supporting cast player. Voight effortlessly carries the film on has shoulders. Director Josef Rusnak's Beyond while not as atmospheric as Insomnia (2002) or as stylish as his own Thirteenth Floor (1999) presents an entertaining mystery/thriller with a psychic element. The supporting cast are a mixed bag (some oddly misplaced and awful) but thankfully Jodie Foster-like Teri Polo and Dermot Mulroney as Jack Musker are reliable and solid. It's well filmed, competently put together with writer Gregory Gierasa putting forward an interesting premise, even if it loses it gust slightly in the closing act especially in the reveal. Nevertheless, its satisfying enough thanks to Voight's principle role as Jon Koski.

princedelapau 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!

lathe-of-heaven *** EDIT (2016-11-10) I happened to be re-reading about this film and I saw my review here and that it had a rather poor 6/12 rating with readers. Heh... they were bloody right! Gawd-awful review, sorry about that... So, I amended it and tried to improve it so that HOPEFULLY it might actually be of some help to those who want to know more about the movie. *** I REALLY like the director's film 'THE 13TH FLOOR'; I thought it was beautifully done, the story was very engaging, and it was extremely entertaining, especially if you like Science Fiction. However, I get the feeling that his heart just was not completely in this one. The scenery and photography are breathtaking; Alaska is truly a beautiful place! I do fully agree with the other reviewer here who stated that the principle actors did a decent job while the supporting ones were pretty cringe-worthy. I DID think that the psychic guy was okay; maybe I just liked his accent... BUT... the 'baby-sitter' and the husband were clearly blowing SOMEBODY because I cannot for the life of me imagine why they would ever, EVER be considered as serious actors in any film...Probably, due to the established talent of the director, the movie technically was done in a fairly competent way. If you are not terribly demanding, and I mean really NOT demanding at all, then it is possible that you might actually find something to enjoy in this movie....It is quite sad I think to see a great actor like Jon Voight looking so rough in his older years, especially when he was so good looking when he was younger; and he's not even really that old. But, that is the way it is with some people, I guess. Just kind of sad, that's all...Anyway, sorry to digress... But, there's nothing really to get very excited about here. Unless of course the 'babysitter' goes back to doing porn like she was clearly born and bred for... : )Seriously though, the film makes a moderately decent effort, but sadly it just doesn't seem to have the substance or quality that that the director has clearly demonstrated in the past...

ma-cortes 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 .
