Premonitions

Firstly, I liked this movie very much. What I didn't like were 2 things: the story was a bit lame (the directing makes it unpredictable) but otherwise the story was flatly OK. The second thing: the tempo and the editing were fast as if it were a TV series. Other than that, it was excellent. The mood of the movie with its colors and lenses and frames was different than anything I've seen, as if the director intentionally wanted to give this genre a different approach. Thus the contre point description: it's too fast and too lucid to belong to this genre. That being said, I can reiterate now and say I liked this movie. It worked for me. It's surprisingly haunting, fresh, it doesn't bore you for a second and it keeps building up. Other than the lame story and the fast editing tempo it's a great effort by an amateur genius (the director). It lingers in your mind, the contre point aspect, the score, the script, the performance by the actors. It's really worth a watch.

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.

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!!

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.

I don't agree with the bad reviews here, I liked this movie very much. The story keeps your attention focused up to the very end. I loved the filming, the editing and the music. If you like a good old fashioned thriller with surprising twists and an end that makes you think about matters of life and death, this is a film to watch. It has just enough body count, car chase and action to be all throughout interesting, without overdoing violence.

Anthony Hopkins' performance it stunning. I always enjoy watching him and here he delivers as well as ever. He can tell the story of his character only with the expression of his eyes and the director uses them well. Colin Farrell does a good job, the other characters are OK but not outstanding.
