Audiences used to a faster pace today will find the talky first half tough going.

A suspense-filled nailbiter that plays on a fear no weapon weidling psycho can top.

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.

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.

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.

More entertaining than credible.

A superb suspense-thriller.

Coma is an extremely entertaining suspense drama in the Hitchcock tradition.
November 27, 2007
This is a tidy conspiracy-theory thriller from Crichton, who accentuates the tension by packing it into a wholly believable, human framework.
