Coma Reviews
Timeless classic
A great movie from start to finish. Young Genevieve Bujold and Michael Douglas give outstanding performances. Everyone in the movie is great. An excellent "conspiracy theory" come true movie. A good add for your DVD library.
Scary stuff from the 70's
This is a good flick that hasn't lost it's appeal. Michael Crichton's direction is good, I thought, not heavy at least by our standards now. Someone is killing patients at famed Boston Memorial Hospital and getting away with it until Genvieve Bujold loses a friend. She suspects murder but she doesn't know how or why.
Rip Torn is the anesthesiologist and the head of the department and mounts a formidable, sexist and spooky opposition. Richard Widmark plays the head of the hospital. I always liked Widmark, kind of a maverick, always accountable for a solid effort.
The closing scenes in the "Jefferson" site, you'll know what I mean when you see it, are so startling as to make you gulp. Bujold's escape scenes at the end are classic.
We are introduced to Bujold when she's taking a shower and all I could think of was 'thank God we didn't have to sit through her boyfriend Michael Douglas taking a shower.' Didn't we see enough of him . . . no too much of him in "Basic Instinct" a few years later? There's a nice cameo by Ed Harris, very early in his career, who looks so young you think he's 14.
Good movie. 4 stars. Larry Scantlebury
