Flatliners (VHS, 1991)

Loved This Underappreciated Thriller

To start, there is an executive-mandated straight play of the sole female being given positive discrimination. (In the original script, she had to deal with the same kind of sins the other three men who flatline with her deal with. If only the executives tried this idea out and hoped for the best.) Apart from that, there isn't anything too bad with this film. There are four guys and one female and the only one who doesn't flatline is one of the guys, who refuses to and apparently doesn't deal with any past sins as a result, making this a possible inversion of Positive Discrimination. Also, the sins aren't spelled out and quickly revealed. They're actually hinted at and slowly revealed over the course of the film. In addition, four of the main characters have flaws and have secrets from their past to deal with as a result of their flatlining. And, when they figure out their situation, they actually try to put a stop to it. It is one film worth watching.Read full review
