Solitary (2009)

I spent 2 hours trying to make sense out of a story that made no sense. It misleads the viewer over and over again and makes the characters look as stupid as it makes the viewer feel. It is poor science fiction but is not labeled science fiction up front. The director helped write the story so I understand why he was involved in the making of it. What Ican't understand is how he found some apparently talented people to work on it. I was left with the feeling that I had wasted my time and that there must be more to the story. I want to say something good about the movie. I guess the actors did a good job with what they had to work with and it was free (with my satellite TV package.) If you are not a science fiction fan, skip this one.

I guess I couldn't say much without adding a spoiler warning - so ... I don't know how many movies they can do and keep spinning off The Sixth Sense plot twist crud. I am SO over The Sixth Sense. I want to watch real movies about feasible characters with real plots that can happen in real life. These type of "we're going to play with your head and warp reality" movies are a cheap, untalented way of producing a product. I also think they are bad for people's mental health: If people want to have their head mucked up, watch this nonsense. **I'd also recommend that anyone who has recently lost someone or is in a depressive state stay away from this movie.** Other than that, I'm sorry I wasted two hours of my life on it. There should be some type of warning on films like these - the synopsis is - for instance - a LIE. This isn't really about a doctor treating a woman with agoraphobia.It's a series of made up illusions that have to do with a woman in a coma who lost her husband. It's way beyond the realms of reality. I don't even know what flipping genre it falls into; but they should have a particular genre for this type of Sixth Sense movie so those of us who hate it can avoid watching it. The whole "surprise" factor turned into "who gives a rat's bum?" for me a long time ago.

I watched this movie based on the reviews from IMDb. I totally disagree with most of the reviews I have read. This basically B movie trying to give you a psychiatric drama. What you actually get is bad acting. The production value is less than that of a made for TV movie on one of the low end cable networks. The film really only has 2 main characters the woman trying to figure things out and her psychologist. Almost everything takes place in her house. The plot is pointless it doesn't make you want to watch it to find out what is really going on. I am sorry for rambling but they force you to write 10 lines if it the movies is a waste. The out come of this movie is that it makes you feel angry that you wasted your time watching it. Do yourself a favor and skip this movie.

This movie had all the makings of another cheap low budget thriller, but it was much more than that. The acting was spot on, and draws the viewer into the mystery. Leading star Amber Jaeger is suffering from Agoraphobia, and her husband comes up missing. She has a vulnerable sexiness that keeps you on you hills the whole movie. There are police officers, a shrink, and an estranged sister in the picture that could be in on a plot against her. Even though it becomes evident from the start that the the husband may be dead or playing a trick on her, there are still some twists and turns that make for an interesting watch. If you are the emotional viewer get the tissue ready for this ending, because it packs a punch. This may be one of the better "artsy" films have seen in awhile.
