"In Medias Res" is based on Paradise Lost and offers a deeper, richer and fuller experience than most any movie about the Bearer of Light turned Prince of Darkness.
The cinematography and shots of the sky and scenery within the main location are spectacular. Director Joe Perry builds and hinges the movie around Satan and the construct works. Keith Stahle delivers an utterly chilling, charismatic, unpredictably brilliant performance that is as impressive within animalistic, demonic ambition as it is vulnerable and realistic within human emotion. He freaks you out but you love him for it. Melanie Cruz is effervesently wise, hopeful, maternal, timeless, and virtuous as God's liason Michelle, a part she is inspired casting for. Unfortunately, Craig Leibowitz makes an earnestly determined effort but sometimes falls flat as the lead Redondo.
