April 12, 2010Tightly directed medical thriller with top performances from Genevieve Bujold and Richard Widmark. Interesting premise well realized with a lot of now familiar faces, like Ed Harris and Tom Selleck, in small roles. Elizabeth Ashley scores strongly in her few scenes imparting a se... read more

February 27, 2011Genevieve Bujold funds herself in surrounded by mystery when Magnum PI becomes the 12th healthy patient to go into a coma after minor routine surgery at her hospital. Enjoy a brief conversation with Ed Harris who is nearly unrecognizable under a full head of hair!

August 18, 2009Interesting concept. Decently acted. Oddly enough, the only downside to the movie is the scenes of tension. They last a little bit too long without enough scare, and at the end of the scene, the conclusion goes 'pfft'. The only thing that turned my stomach was the idea that t... read more

July 21, 2009I really enjoyed this flick as a kid & it still holds up today. Watch for Tom Selleck as one of the coma patients.

April 8, 2009Good story line... Gotta cut it some slack for being cheesy since it is from the late 70's.. but then again, there is a lot of bad acting. Though, not on Michael Douglas' part.

June 20, 2007Proof that not all writers should be directors. As good a writer as Crichton is, this movie is a mess.

March 12, 2007I read the book by Robin Cook and it took almost forever becasue it was so boring, although it picked up at the end. The same cannot be said about the movie, which I only watched cause it was directed by Michael Crichton.

The aftereffect of Coma is a catlike yawn, benign and bored. Full Review

Michael Crichton's slow-paced thriller must have begun with something to say about the morality of the medical profession, but whatever it was is lost in the shuffle of unnecessary narrative detail. Full Review

A suspense-filled nailbiter that plays on a fear no weapon weidling psycho can top. Full Review

This is a tidy conspiracy-theory thriller from Crichton, who accentuates the tension by packing it into a wholly believable, human framework. Full Review

TV Guide's Movie Guide
Coma wastes a superb performance by Bujold on a simplistic, predictable series of cliched suspense scenes, seasoned with some last-minute moralizing about contemporary medicine. Full Review
