Flatliners Reviews

this is a film that creates an atmosphere from the word go. snapping you to attention and making you seriously think hard about what is contained within the film. a must see for anyone who is ready (and yes you really do need to be ready) so order in pizza, get a group of friends together, turn out the lights and watch this superb film which throws belief and science fiction into a meltingpot. with an excellent cast to polish off the rest of this fantastic ensemble, this film is definately a must see movie.

Great to revisit

When this film first cam out I loved it! I loved the cast, I loved the premise behind it and I loved the eerie drama. It made me want to be a medical student in the the states and be as cool as the cast. Today I am older, heavier, not as cool, living in England still and not a doctor! But I still enjoyed this film a lot. It teters on the verge of falling into the void of Amercian setimental mush but holds it own - just. If I have one critism it would be that I spent much of the film getting very frustrated with Kieffer/Keiffer/Keith continually getting beaten up by a child. He should have decked him as soon as the lad started getting all agro with him. But then it would have made for a shorter film!

Fantastic!

This is the perfect film for a night in with candles,yummy food and a bottle of wine.

It keeps you captivated from beginning to end.

A must see for everyone

i realy liked this film although i have seen it a few times before it is one of those films you can keep watching

EXCELLENT FILM!

With a cast of Keifer Sutherland, Kevin Bacon, and Julia Roberts, this film couldn't go wrong. The story is about young doctors/scientists who want to explore and prove whether there is life after death. Original and interesting, this film keeps you gripped from start to finish. I would love to see a follow up, but i dont think they could afford the actors now. GO WATCH THIS FILM!!!

Not a bad movie.

The characters want to view what is beyond death, and end up finding more than they wished to find. They bring back their deep burried memories/sins from the past, and try to find ways to deal with them. A nice way to pass the time. Has some scary moments, overall a decent psychological thriller.

Think twice before you act in life

It's the final message of the film, I think. It makes you think about bullying, punishment, karma and forgiveness issues, so in this way it's a very positive film. The special affects could have been better though.

Very Good

This film is both erry and yet has a low level of comicness. It is about students willing to die for knowing that one truth that most of us dont want to. Very good in total. Scary with an excellent story and no disapointments. Big stars julia roberts and keifter sutherland. As well as kevin bacon. Must Watch if not seen film

Flatliners

This had so much potential - a cast of young, up-and-coming actors and a fantastic concept, but this film didn't do it for me.

A group of med students (studying in a suitably creepy college) decide to experiment with death to see if there is an afterlife, they are then bought back to life by their colleagues. All well and good so far.

Until, after three of the four students have 'died', the group realises that that they are each bringing back elements of their eerie past. Now it gets a bit daft, and without giving too much away, the story nose-dives.

A disappointing 3 stars.

watch again and again

this film my fiancee loves and we watch again and again esp when on tv and nothing is on. is a good film and makes you wonder
