Coma Reviews
Sci-Fi Movie Page
Audiences used to a faster pace today will find the talky first half tough going.
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.
The aftereffect of Coma is a catlike yawn, benign and bored.

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.

Crichton does Cook in this engaging (if dated) medical thriller.
| Original Score: 3/5
Coma is an extremely entertaining suspense drama in the Hitchcock tradition.

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