Movie synopsis
Based on the best-selling novel by Robin Cook, COMA is a taught paranoid thriller and a dramatically apt metaphor for the corruption and fraud in the modern American health-care industry. Dr. Susan Wheeler (Genevieve Bujold) suspects her colleagues of foul play when her closest friend lapses into a coma following a routine operation. When Wheeler discovers a suspiciously frequent pattern of unexplained comas in her hospital, she becomes obsessed with finding an answer, even when it puts her own career and life in danger. Her lover, Dr. Bellows (Michael Douglas), admits there is a mystery but doubts there is a conspiracy and even suspects Wheeler of suffering from a nervous breakdown. The tension builds as Wheeler's investigation leads her to a secret corporation specializing in organ transplant experimentation and sale for profit, and she soon witnesses the defining image of the film: comatose bodies suspended on wires in a computer-controlled environment. With its suspensful plot, dramatic editing, and conspiratorial terror, COMA is a precursor to many paranoid dramas such as THE FIRM and THE PELICAN BRIEF, establishing a defined style that may yet become a genre unto itself.

Coma is heart pounding

Review For: Coma (DVD, 1999)

Coma is one of those spell-binding movies that leaves you on the edge of your seat. Having worked in the medical profession for 30 years and spent hundreds of hours assisting in surgery it was very real indeed the scenes where the patient is in distress with their anesthesia. The music soundtrack makes the movie along with Genevieve and Michael Douglas. The suspense is what makes this a top movie. The actors live in their roles and make for a good time.

Review For: Coma (DVD, 1999)

This film is a must see for anyone who is going in for surgery soon. LOL.
A gripping.....edge of your seat.....psychological thriller. EXTREMELY well written and the entire cast brings in a homerun!!!!!!!
If you like being scared in a ~that could really happen~ kinda way (like the JAWS film)....you'll love COMA.

Coma the DVD

Review For: Coma (DVD, 1999)

I had read the book and wanted to see the movie. I was disappointed that the movie did not follow the book more closely. The DVD worked fine. No problems there. Thanks.

Coma DVD

Review For: Coma (DVD, 1999)

This is a movie for people who want good clean old school suspense. There is nothing shameful or offensive. It works for the entire family. I can't remember any profanity, sexual situations or violence. In todays climate it is hard to find movies like this one where you won't cringe or blush because of questionable conduct. This is one that can be viewed and enjoyed throughout with anyone. I like that!

Coma, a descriptive title

Review For: Coma (DVD, 1999)

Action thriller without curse words, sex and making it seem as wrong plus wrong makes it right. It is about being caught doing wrong and hiding it from others, but wind up paying (not money) for it. It happens in a hospital where patients are being killed for their internal organs. It's a profitable business, & fortunately the bad people are caught. I recommend it.
