SOLACE Trailer: Psychic Colin Farrell Goes Toe to Toe with Psychic Anthony Hopkins in Serial Killer Thriller
Lionsgate Premiere has released a new trailer for Solace, a serial killer thriller that stars Colin Farrell as a murderer with a particular set of skills. The trouble for him is that Anthony Hopkins plays a man with a similar set of skills, and Hopkins' character is recruited by the police to help stop Farrell's killer. Frankly, this looks like one of the wave of cheesy cat and mouse movies that came out in the wake of David Fincher's Seven (remember Mindhunters?), but Farrell and Hopkins are interesting enough actors that they might be able to salvage this into something worth watching.
Jeffery Dean Morgan and Abbie Cornish round out the core cast, and Solace arrives in theaters and On Demand on December 16, 2016.
When FBI Special Agent Joe Merriwether (Jeffrey Dean Morgan) is unable to solve a series of homicides, he decides to enlist the help of his former colleague Dr. John Clancy (Anthony Hopkins), a retired physician with psychic powers. The reclusive Clancy, who shuttered his practice and retreated from the world following the death of his daughter and subsequent break-up of his marriage, wants nothing to do with the case. He soon changes his mind after seeing disturbingly violent visions of Joe’s partner, FBI Special Agent Katherine Cowles’s (Abbie Cornish) ultimate demise. When Clancy’s exceptional intuitive powers put him on the trail of a suspect, Charles Ambrose (Colin Farrell), the doctor soon realizes his abilities are no match against the extraordinary powers of this vicious murderer on a mission.
