Reviews

Despite having an interesting concept, 'Flatliners' failed to captivate both critics and audiences. Rotten Tomatoes gave it a dismal 4% rating, with critics describing it as a 'listless and unnecessary' remake that lacks the suspense and depth of the original. IMDb users rated it at 5.2/10, criticizing the film for its lackluster execution and underdeveloped characters. Metacritic scored it at 27/100, labeling it as a missed opportunity to explore the complexities of life and death. Some critics noted that the film lacked the psychological depth and tension needed to make it a compelling thriller. While Elliot Page delivers a solid performance, the overall narrative falls short of delivering a truly engaging experience.
