Prémonitions

I wasn't sure what to make of it based on the review score. Lately, I'm finding that the reviews are becoming less reliable and more fringe opinion.

This movie presents an interesting concept and a troubling moral dilemma. I found it to be well acted (with the exception of the female detective) and fairly well written. I enjoyed the concept of multiple outcomes based on the "butterfly effect" and how they were presented.

Giving bad reviews based on it being written by a man (yes there are a few) or similar nonsense is just wasteful. Overall, it was an interesting watch that left me thinking and somewhat troubled - that's the best kind of movie.

If we could see people's future, I never would have seen this film being so deep.

Solace focuses on a closed off psychic who helps to find a serial killer, but soon becomes more important to the case than he knows. Anthony Hopkins and Colin Farrell star in this mystery thriller to wow the audience on life and moral behaviour.

The film gives thrills, action, suspense, and deep thinking to keep the audience 100% focused. We view brilliant camera work and interesting editing sequences to dazzle our eyes. Though I do not promise this film to be the utter best, but completely enjoyable, and a film to spread the word around about.

The film provides plenty of depth to the characters, and immediately put the audience on their side. Anthony Hopkins is a clever, caring, and intelligent character that gives the film the performance it needed, along with an emotional story as well. However the choice of Colin Farrell for the psychotic free believer, serial killer may not be the perfect decision. Granted Farrell provides plenty of depth and character in his performance, especially presenting great characterisation compared to previous performances, I personally did not see Farrell as the ideal actor for this role.

I give this film a 7/10, providing you with much more then you first think. This is a film for thrill seekers, and viewers who like to think, but also one to be discussed.

Loved the movie, don't go for the 1 star main review...

I found strange that a movie with this 2 actors would get a so low or medium even score, and decided to watch it (usualy I don't see anything below 6.5)

The movie is very good and has a strong message behind it, its not that well hidden, you can identify yourself or someone with the pain that goes through the movie. Who thinks this is a horror movie, or a cliché is going for the wrong film.

Its a story of the "devil's advocate", you will end up having conflicted feelings, hard ones, with some extremes.

Anyways, without spoiling it, unless your expecting a horror or action blockbuster you should watch this movie.

Hopkins delivers and Farrel as well, now the woman main actress doesn't reach this 2 great actors, its the only flaw (Sometimes big one) I find in this film.

Great movie

Take " Dead zone" and " Manhunter" and you have Solace.

I won't tell you much about the plot but the film is in the title.

Wasn't entirely sure what I was going to watch because of the trailer but was very pleasantly surprised.

I left the theatre wondering who was the bad guy...or indeed IF there was a bad guy.Fantastic cinematography and use of special effects with blistering performances all around.

A number of reviews have mentioned that this copies a lot of genres but for me it nods a wink in homage to psycho-thrillers to which the director obviously adores.

Absolutely riveting direction takes this from a Sunday matinée to a Saturday night blockbuster which Tony Hopkins comfortably revels in.

Colin Farrell is superb as the protagonist ( or is he)?

I challenge you to not enjoy this for what it is.

Bring on the DVD so I can watch again and sumise!!

"Solace" is a weird but watchable supernatural thriller. The good director and cast and the original storyline are the best this film can offer. Unfortunately the gloomy screenplay is messy and destroys the expectations of this forgettable movie. My vote is six.

Title (Brazil): "Presságios de um Crime" ("Omens of a Crime")
