Coma (1978)
Recommended for mature audiences
| Director: | Michael Crichton |
| Actors: | Rip Torn, Michael Douglas, Richard Widmark, Genevieve Bujold, Elizabeth Ashley |
Ten cases. Now 12. Why are young, healthy patients admitted for minor surgery at Boston Memorial Hospital ending up on life support? Dr. Susan Wheeler wants to know. Somebody else wants her dead. Long before he created ER, Michael Crichton (Jurassic Park, Twister) adapted and directed this medical chiller based on Robin Cook's bestseller. Genevieve Bujold plays Wheeler, trailing clues, clambering along ductways, hiding among morgue cadavers, infiltrating the eerie Jefferson Institute (an unforgettable marvel of spooky technology) and persuading her sceptical boyfriend and fellow doctor Mark (Michael Douglas) that her suspicions are not mere paranoia. For thriller fans, Coma is heartpoundingly good medicine.

Really enjoyable thriller. It was easily as good as I remember, and the suspense was fantastic. If you like CSI or Quincey M.E. then you'll love this, but it's not filled with heaps of fake medical nonesense. Appearances include Tom Seleck and Ed Harris (much younger). Loved it!!!

Worth Watching - the story is like the movie 'The Island' or rather 'The Island' similar to 'Coma'.

If even if Michael Douglas didn't look impossibly young you could feel this movie was made in the seventies. It's a nice little thriller, but I thought Genevieve Bujold's performance was a little too icy. Worth a look.
