You won't be disappointed!

Terrible acting, screenplay and direction.

Excellent, a Must See

It's a mild crowd pleaser for people who are exhausted by blockbusters.

Anthony Hopkins plays a psychic who helps the FBI to track down a serial killer. Trouble is he too is a psychic and a more powerful one at that. This movie did remind me of Seven, Manhunter, The Dead Zone, etc but this psychic versus psychic is a cool idea & both are played by A-list actors. It's stylish, often brutal, well acted & has a good musical score. The only minor quibble is that it does push the boundaries of believability towards the end. Looking at other reviews it is a classic case of IMDB exaggeration - to award this 1/10 is simply absurd, but likewise only the best movies deserve 10/10 & this certainly is not one of them. But I enjoyed it , 7/10 from me.

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?

This movie shows mercy killing. to me there is no dilemma! when you get terminally sick and there is no way out! The best way is to not suffer. I am personally very ill for 4 years with ongoing pain and suffering. That is why i can relate. if i had kwiwn 4 years ago ehat hell would i go through and pain. I think he is doing them a huge favour. oming from personal experience! Also Anthony hopkins very great job and Colin farrell nothing less also very great acting

The screenplay for "Solace" became a stand-alone movie after it was reject by David Fincher as a proposed sequel to "Se7en", called "Ei8ht" (is out there a more ridiculous / forced title for a sequel ?). Well, Sir Anthony Hopkins, unfortunately, stopped cared or he's becoming senile to executive produce such a far-fetched & implausible script that could have been an acceptable B-movie, if it wasn't directed in a serious tone like if this rookie director would think he was making a new "Se7en" or "The Silence of the Lambs" for the 'millennials' standards. I don't know why in the hell Hollywood is still hiring those Brazilian directors and give them millions to helm a big studio's production like this. José Padilha killed the "RoboCop" franchise with the atrocious remake, and now Afonso Poyart delivers one of the worst psychological thrillers ever produced. The direction is so damn 'flashy'; it lacks tension and atmosphere required for such a mystery / thriller film; the composition of shots is nothing sort of spectacular, even if the director is trying too hard, visually, to innovate the genre. The camera tricks added in post production became so repetitive & annoying that it looked like we're watching a cartoon-ish or a sci-fi / superhero movie shot in "The Matrix" style. The supporting cast delivers terrible performances, Abbie Cornish can't act as a F.B.I. Special Agent even if she was possessed by one, and not because of her Barbie looks, just check the "Criminal Minds" T.V. Show and the actresses play their parts with much more authenticity. I don't know if Jeffrey Dean Morgan was jinxed or is just because his acting skills are limited and he just can't lead a film. On this account, for every theatrical released movie he was in, it's either from terrible to utter crap or a box office flop. He needs to stuck on TV Shows such as "Supernatural" & "Walking Dead" and quit cinema for once. The only positive thing about this mess of a movie were the performances from both Anthony Hopkins and Colin Farrell that always delivered the goods in every role they were in. Hopkins is so typecast in this particular parts that he can do it with charm & confidence, even in his sleep and Farrell is convincing & leave a mark in the film, besides his limited 'less than 20 minutes" screen time as the morose serial-killer. Their scenes together were very good and both have great chemistry on-screen that deserved a way better movie. Verdict: as a psychological thriller it fails in every department: it takes itself too seriously; the screenplay is full of bad written dialogue delivered even worse and the premise is risible to say the least, it earns maybe 2 extra points for the performances of the two protagonists.
