i just watch this move recently on encore channel . what a great film and a great cast as well . flatliners be very suspenseful and unpredictable . the movie have a great opening scene by the ocean then to a series of scene establish the question about life after death which provide a very strong upfront story involvement . therefore nelson play by kiefer sutherland be the first to go through the test to die and come back to life . then it get very dramatic by bring back his wrong do from the past to life . then all of the above mention character go through the same experience except for randy steckle play by olliver platt . then the story unfold into a resolution and basic understanding about life and the presence and meaning of god . david labraccio play by kevin bacon an atheist end up question his own belief about god . it amaze to watch julia robert along with kevin bacon and oliver platt and william baldwin and kiefer sutherland at such a prime time of their career . one can ask how come we do not have such great movie produce anymore . this be one of the best production from joel schumacher . i really enjoy this movie .
