Solace (2016)

I love this movie so much

Entertaining from beginning to end, it maintains the spirit of the franchise while establishing it's own seal with a fun cast

it is the rare 'crazy' movie that actually has something to say.

This film is so real. It treats its characters with so much care and sensitivity.

Anthony Hopkins plays a psychic who helps the FBI to track down a serial killer. Trouble is he too is a psychic and a more powerful one at that. This movie did remind me of Seven, Manhunter, The Dead Zone, etc but this psychic versus psychic is a cool idea & both are played by A-list actors. It's stylish, often brutal, well acted & has a good musical score. The only minor quibble is that it does push the boundaries of believability towards the end. Looking at other reviews it is a classic case of IMDB exaggeration - to award this 1/10 is simply absurd, but likewise only the best movies deserve 10/10 & this certainly is not one of them. But I enjoyed it , 7/10 from me.

A cracking, thought provoking journey delivered through some great acting. Hopkin's is at his best with the ability to flip from grim brooding to a light smile in a startling instant. Farrell is the perfect antagonist and Jeffrey Dean Morgan is charming and tragic in equal measures. Don't be put off by the usual group of negative reviewers on here - it engaged all the way through, the direction was sharp and produced some very powerful scenes and the dialogue was at times both haunting and exhilarating - what more could you want from a supernatural thriller?

When I first seen this on the shelf at my library, I thought it looks pretty good. When I seen this I thought this is a damn good movie with a good story and really good performances.The film is basically your typical serial killer goes on a rampage and FBI agents must stop him formula, but this film is refreshingly done with great twists and takes interesting turns along the way.The performances from Anthony Hopkins, Colin Farrell, Jefferey Dean Morgan and Abbie Cornish were very good, everyone brought their A-game in this. Jefferey and Abbie play FBI agents and Anthony is a doctor who is physic who from what I can tell, is a cop, and the FBI uses him from time to time on really difficult cases. On this case, the killer there after is just like Anthony's character, a physic ,and has them follow his bazaar riddles and clues, which is really cool.I know it won't happen but I kinda want to see a sequel to this because the concept is fresh, this film could be a franchise. Originally this was the sequel to Seven that started Morgan Freeman and Brad Pitt but was changed to this instead, I think at the time New Line Cinema didn't like it or it never got of the ground, but I'm glad it was rescued and made as this instead. Besides Seven is very hard to franchise if you think about it.The action scenes are good and the story is cool it's one of these edge of your seat kinda flicks, with a great ending that I will not spoil. I give it a 7/10. A good movie that I can't recommend enough to you. See it.

The Hopkins picture on the poster is what made me choose this.It is a good made thriller.I was very surprised to watch thin in a day where marvel movies took over.Great psychological thriller.
