Review – Coma

Okay, the weird scene with the bodies hanging from wires is kinda cool. Unfortunately, the rest of the movie appears to be designed to inspire just what the title promises. Genevieve Bujold stars as a courageous young doctor who discovers that the hospital for which she works makes a practice of deliberately poisoning patients during surgical anesthesia so the victims’ comatose quasi-corpses can be shipped to an organ-harvesting facility. Boring plot twists ensue. Michel Douglas co-stars as our heroine’s love interest, a man torn between affection and repeated assurances that his significant other’s paranoid obsessions will ruin her career and take him down with her. Now you know everything you need to about the story, so feel free to fast-forward to the body-suspension room (and stop watching afterward if you’re so inclined). Mildly amusing
