Solace

Just when we thought we were out, they pull us back in. That's right, this week we're taking a look at Solace, a cat and mouse thriller about a psychic cop (Anthony Hopkins) pursuing a psychic serial killer (Colin Farrell), which had sat on the shelf for several years before getting a quick festival run and alleged theatrical release to cash in on Colin's newly reclaimed stardom. We talk about the film's protracted production (including a decade where they were, swear to God, trying to retool it as a sequel to Se7en), attempt to sort through its incoherent narrative, toast Hopkin's career, get into the weeds of Italian copyright law, and mostly just lose our minds as we take one last look back at the dredges of Colin's flop era.
