Product details

Product Description
Amazon.co.uk Review
What if you could stop your heart to simulate a temporary death, and then be revived so you could describe your near-death experience to others? The mysteries of life--and the afterlife--compel five medical students (Julia Roberts, Kiefer Sutherland, Kevin Bacon, William Baldwin, Oliver Platt) to experiment with their own mortality, and what they discover has unsettling psychological implications. That's the intriguing premise of this neo-Gothic horror thriller, directed by Joel Schumacher (Batman & Robin) with his typical indulgence of vibrant colours and hyperactive, hallucinogenic style. The movie borders on silliness at times, and the near-death recollection of memories results in some repetitious scenes, but the dynamic young cast takes it all quite seriously, which is what keeps this gaudy thriller on the edge. The fascinating premise could have been made into a better film, but Schumacher's mainstream excess doesn't stop Flatliners from being slick, occasionally even provocative entertainment. --Jeff Shannon

Synopsis
Story about a group of medical students who are investigating death and the possibility of an after-life. They stage their own 'temporary deaths', however, upon their return they discover that something has followed them...

5.0 out of 5 stars NOT BAD,NOT BAD AT ALL ! ! ! (written by c.a.e !), 21 May 2004
By jason (England,uk) - See all my reviews
Flatliners... well where can i begin ? How about the cast , this movie has an brilliant cast including julia roberts,kevin bacon & kiefer sutherland all giving good performances but kiefer sutherland steals the show as the medical student obsessed with death and regrets his actions by being the person with the worst possible sin out of the group,you might even feel sorry for him.Anyway i dont wanna give anything away but basically it's about 5 medicall student's who kill them self's (flatline) in order to see well what happens when ur dead but what they dont know is that when they come back they bring there sins with them and basically there angry and want revenge.This is a good movie with some,weird,spooky parts that really make you think.Well worth a look,get this classic movie now and add it to your collection ! ! !

5.0 out of 5 stars An absolute magnificant film that never lets you relax., 11 Jan 2001
By A Customer
This review is from: Flatliners [1990] (DVD)
This film is a great psychological thriller that keeps you guessing throughout.The cast of KEVIN BACON,KIEFER SUTHERLAND AND JULIA ROBERTS were perfectly selected as the ambitious medical students who go one step too far.The director , JOEL SCHUMACHER, went on to do other great films such as FALLING DOWN and A TIME TO KILL and this movie really set him up as a respectable and talented director.this is a must see movie but is not for the easily shocked.

4.0 out of 5 stars Somelines should not be crossed
Flatliners left quite a noticeable impression in my head. The story is quick paced and leaves you constantly absorbed and at many times quite tense. Read more

2.0 out of 5 stars BORDERLINE MAY HAVE BEEN A BETTER TITLE.
A very disappointing film from a very talented cast. In theory the story should have been a lot more entertaining as it is a very controversial subject, but the repetition was too... Read more

5.0 out of 5 stars This is the best ever movie I've seen in ages...............
Is this how death really is? The only problem with this film is that when your dead you can't think which means you can't remember anything if you are legally dead. Read more
