This is one of the best mystery/thriller movies ever.
Anthony Hopkins is one of the greatest actors, Colin Farrell is really talented.
The story isn't ordinary.
Unexpected end with a message; "Sometimes the greatest acts of love are the hardest acts to commit" .. in my opinion, this is the movie's message, it was so brilliant to end it this way.

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.

A cracking, thought provoking journey delivered through some great acting. Hopkin's is at his best with the ability to flip from grim brooding to a light smile in a startling instant. Farrell is the perfect antagonist and Jeffrey Dean Morgan is charming and tragic in equal measures. Don't be put off by the usual group of negative reviewers on here - it engaged all the way through, the direction was sharp and produced some very powerful scenes and the dialogue was at times both haunting and exhilarating - what more could you want from a supernatural thriller?

According to trivia notes, this was pencilled in as a potential sequel to Se7en. Thankfully that was overruled, but if the same director and script editors had been on hand as with Se7en, then we might have got an excellent film.It's a psychic cop redrafted back into the police to capture a psychic villain. That's it really.Anthony Hopkins leads a cast who are not in the same league as himself, and it clearly shows. Despite that, the script doesn't often help, and the director is clearly out of his depth with this one. So much could have been done.What should be a taut storyline, really isn't. The premise of psychic cops and villain, doesn't ever convince or leave on edge, and there seems to have been soft porn takes added in as it would be the only talking point for some, and kind of devalued the film. It never added to anything.It's not by any means the poorest movie you'll see of late, but it's one that one will best be left for late night satellite film TV stations as a filler. Nothing more. Disappointing.
