Flatliners

Joel Schumacher gets funky with the black-light in this story about young doctors in lust who also get their kicks by stopping their hearts, hence the title, and bringing back all kinds of guilt laden nasties from their pasts. Keifer Sutherland does the broody sulk better than anybody, Julia Roberts plays the self rightous bitch as per normal, Kevin Bacon adds something here though I'm not sure what and one of the Baldwin boys plays a moraly bankrupt slut....go figure! Oliver Platt rounds out the ensemble in and once again I'm not quite sure why. Both Amy Rochelle and Hope Davis make their film debuts here which I suppose is important, but overall the heart in the film flatlined as soon as the opening credits ended.
