Summary of Flatliners
A CHARISMATIC MEDICAL STUDENT CONVINCES HIS CLASSMATES TO FLATLINE, TEMPORARILY SHUT DOWN THEIR HEART AND BRAIN FUNCTIONS TO EXPERIENCE CLINICAL DEATH. THE EXPERIMENT IS A SUCCESS, UNTILTHE STUDENTS REALIZE THAT ALTHOUGH THEY'VE COME BACK ALIVE, THEYHAVEN'T COME BACK ALONE.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 colors 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
