Review of Coma

Coma (1978)
6/10
Decent medical thriller
27 August 2016
A young doctor at a hospital, Susan Wheeler (played by Genevieve Bujold), starts noticing a pattern of strange occurrences with patients. Healthy patients are suddenly developing complications and ending up in comas. She starts investigating and what she reveals is astonishing.

Decent medical thriller. Reasonably suspenseful and direction is solid. Plot is not entirely bullet-proof though and some twists can be spotted well in advance.

Good performances from Genevieve Bujold and Michael Douglas in the lead roles. However, support is so-so. Richard Widmark wasn't entirely convincing. Also includes Tom Selleck and Ed Harris in minor roles.
