Revealing mistake: Opening scene: in the first shot where the murder victim is fully visible and the camera zooms in a little, the supposedly dead victim is obviously breathing in (his chest is moving a lot). (00:01:05)

Solace is a thriller/mystery starring Sir Anthony Hopkins as a psychic who is being asked by the F.B.I. to assist in stopping a serial killer who seems to be preying on random people and painlessly killing them suddenly. What develops is a relationship between the psychic, one of the F.B.I. Agents he's assisting and the killer during a cat-and-mouse pursuit to end the murders. The element that makes this movie different from your average crime drama is that there's an unusual motive at work and that the killer is also a psychic. This one also has some interesting visuals to demonstrate how those powers work. Sometimes slow, predictable and even improbable, it's worthy of a look if you enjoy movies like Seven.

Agent Katherine Cowles: Dr. Clancy, before we go upstairs, with all due respect, I don't hold an ounce of confidence in the paranormal in general. I think it's a sham. I hope that's okay.
John Clancy: No problem at all. I feel the same about shrinks. After only one thing, your money. They'll take your whole hand.
Agent Katherine Cowles: Whoever said that has obviously never met a good one.
John Clancy: It was Sigmund Freud.
Trivia: New Line Cinema had tried to re-work this film into a sequel to David Fincher's "Se7en" for some time, but nobody involved in the making of that film wanted to work on a sequel - especially one with a supernatural element. It was eventually made under its original title and without any connection to the Fincher film.
