Coma Reviews
Creative Loafing
The boys'-club politics at the hospital provide the picture with interesting subtext right in line with the sexual dynamics of the period; Bujold proves to be a worthy champion for the feminist cause.

Empire Magazine
A suspense-filled nailbiter that plays on a fear no weapon weidling psycho can top.
Film4
This is a tidy conspiracy-theory thriller from Crichton, who accentuates the tension by packing it into a wholly believable, human framework.
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.

Pretty creepy stuff hanging around here.
| Original Score: 3/5
The aftereffect of Coma is a catlike yawn, benign and bored.

Genevieve Bujold puts in one of the strongest performances of her career in this well-done thriller.

Crichton does Cook in this engaging (if dated) medical thriller.
| Original Score: 3/5
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.
