Actuakers One of my all time favorites.

Intcatinfo A Masterpiece!

Aubrey Hackett While it is a pity that the story wasn't told with more visual finesse, this is trivial compared to our real-world problems. It takes a good movie to put that into perspective.

Guillelmina The film's masterful storytelling did its job. The message was clear. No need to overdo.

Platypuschow Sole Survivor is the movie adaptation of a supernatural thriller book by Dean Koontz.The 3 hour epic teeters on greatness but somehow, someway misses the mark and misses it hard.It tells the story of man played by the incredibly underrated Billy Zane who lost his wife and daughter in a plane crash. Before he knows it he finds himself embroiled in a supernatural conspiracy that may explain what really happened on that fateful day.Also starring Scrubs (2001) star John C. McGinley this powerhouse of a movie is one of those that has a great concept but runs out of steam about half way through.Also starring Timecop (1994) star Gloria Reuben and former child star Jodelle Ferland I was really enjoying Sole Survivor up until the point that it became apparent it really wasn't going anywhere special.The film is worth watching for Zane & McGinley alone but the heartbreaking thing is how much potential this had. Sole Survivor had limitless potential but Koontz clearly ran out of ideas (Good ones anyway).A damn fine attempt regardless.The Good:Billy Zane and John C. McGinley are excellentGreat first halfSome nice ideasThe Bad:Plot gets a bit muddledToo much "God" speakFinale was a dudThings I Learnt From This Movie:I hate kids, also likely to be my last words

Scoval71 Well, I enjoyed it. Somewhat a bit too long, but Billy Zane gives a well acted performance. The bad guy played by McGinley is very corny and goofy, quite unbelievable in his actions, yet somehow it fits the storyline. I caught this movie on a rainy afternoon and found its four hours most entertaining and suspenseful. Some of the plot is very far fetched. Examples are: The little girl brings a bird back to life and in the fashion of a Jesus Christ makes serious bloody wounds and cuts heal, but this is a great child actress. I like Billy Zane and always thought he was a fine actor. I recommend this movie. Not the best, but compelling, riveting and suspenseful. One other comment I have is that I could not stomach the cruelty of the blinding and shooting of the horse by the McGinley character. To me this was absolutely not necessary and totally repellent.

harican This movie is so prolonged it is awfully annoying.The dialogs are to lengthy and the flashbacks are too many.The story takes too much of a twist, genetically designed children, child # 2121?, ridiculous. Parts of this movie were okay, but the story line was too drawn out. It became almost too hard to endure. The main character was okay but the CIA agent tracking him was too corny, too much of an idiot character to even watch.I saw this movie on the Mystery channel and thought that it was all a waste of time once the movie winded down.This movie turned out to be more of a sci-fi film than a horror film. Nothing scary about this film at all. I don't know, but maybe that was what this movie was supposed to be classified as.

mmcgown This is such a positively dreadful adaptation of the excellent novel by Dean Koontz that it's a mystery why he allowed his name on the screen. The Matheson teleplay is completely off the mark, and the John McGinley portrayal of Yates is laughable at first and then so revoltingly stupid that it destroys the continuity of the entire story. Fans of Koontz' writing should avoid wasting their time on this insipid presentation.
