Watch Solace For Free

Great Film overall

It’s not bad or unwatchable but despite the amplitude of the spectacle, the end result is underwhelming.

A terrific literary drama and character piece that shows how the process of creating art can be seen differently by those doing it and those looking at it from the outside.

An old-fashioned movie made with new-fashioned finesse.

This movie could be a master class and acting as far as Anthony Hopkins goes - and most of the other actors also great. Unfortunately the main female character character was woefully miscast and obviously written by man. If I see one more female detective dressed like Olivia Benson on SVU I'm going to scream just for lack of creativity. Do all female detectives wear low-cut tank tops with big belts and a tight blazer? I just could not believe this character and it ruined the movie for me. I did continue to watch it though because Anthony Hopkins was just so good. But the writing was worse than general TV crime procedurals. Just so many tropes and mysoginistic lines and visuals. Ugh. Really too bad - was just on the edge of being great - if they could've just had one rewrite from a female writer, and someone down to earth like Gina Rodriguez in the main female role to make it more believable, It could've put it over the edge.

Solace: Anthony Hopkins plays a Psychic (Joe) who used to work with the FBI but who lives a reclusive existence since the death of his daughter. His FBI agent friend (Jeffrey Dean Morgan) along with another agent (Abbie Cornish) visits Joe, asking him to help with a troublesome case. Joe is reluctant and refuses. But his psychic powers are enhanced when he touches/is touched by someone. (Joe, who is a medical doctor, believes his powers are not supernatural; rather he has a "super-duper sense of intuition".) A casual touch by Cornish spurs a vision of her injured. He changes his mind and agrees to help, maybe because of the vision or because Cornish reminds him of his daughter. But the killer (Colin Farrell) always seems to be a step ahead of them. Hopkins suspects that they may be dealing with another psychic.Excellent thriller. 8/10.

Watching SOLACE, you feel like you're taking part in a WALKING DEAD cast reunion, with seemingly half the actors from that show turning up at one point or another. The lead is none other than Negan himself, Jeffrey Dean Morgan, playing an FBI agent on the trail of a serial killer whose method is to alleviate the lives of those living in pain. In a plot that feels more than a little copied from SILENCE OF THE LAMBS - albeit with a supernatural twist - he calls in retired psychic Anthony Hopkins to help him out. What follows is occasionally shocking but more often than not predictable, as Hopkins uses his super-senses to close in on the enemy who is always one step ahead. Colin Farrell eventually shows up as the villain in an underwhelming performance, and there's an occasional surprise twist that works well. However, SOLACE is spoilt by the breakdown of the story in the last third, with things descending into 'mannequin challenge' style special effects and even a little MATRIX-style 'bullet time'. I found this rather disappointing given the careful set-up of all that came previously.

This movie shows mercy killing. to me there is no dilemma! when you get terminally sick and there is no way out! The best way is to not suffer. I am personally very ill for 4 years with ongoing pain and suffering. That is why i can relate. if i had kwiwn 4 years ago ehat hell would i go through and pain. I think he is doing them a huge favour. oming from personal experience! Also Anthony hopkins very great job and Colin farrell nothing less also very great acting
