‘Flatliners’: Dead on arrival

All three are wondering if their respective acting career is going to flatline after this film.

If we can learn anything from the movie Flatliners, it’s that we should never tamper with the natural order. Life and death are out of our hands, and trying to bring back what is gone only leads to suffering and grief.

There are two ways to take in this message. Firstly, you could actually watch Flatliners. That, however, would mean sitting through a tedious, rather predictable film which squanders a fascinating premise – we therefore do not recommend it.
