Solace

John Clancy is a renowned physician whose alleged psychic abilities are put to work in the service of law enforcement. When a ruthless serial killer leaves a chilling trail, he teams with FBI agent Joe Merriweather to chase a lead that lies beyond ordinary forensics. The partnership blends clinical insight with procedural work as they race to anticipate the killer's next move, decoding clues that only someone with Clancy's gifts might grasp. Across a city shrouded in menace, the hunt tests trust, judgment, and the cost of pursuing truth against dangerous odds. The case unfolds through tense interrogations, careful deduction, and a heavy sense of moral consequence. Their pursuit reveals a city under pressure.

Solace was directed by Afonso Poyart and released in 2015. It is written by Ted Griffin and Sean Bailey and features Anthony Hopkins as John Clancy with Jeffrey Dean Morgan, Abbie Cornish, and Colin Farrell in key roles.

Solace grossed about 22.6 million worldwide, placing it in the modest end of the thriller market. The ensemble performances helped it stand out more than the box office numbers might suggest.

While Solace did not become a cultural phenomenon, Hopkins fans and crime thriller audiences appreciated the blend of psychological intrigue with a procedural chase. The film sits among late career thrillers that lean on mood and character dynamics rather than flashy gimmicks.

Critics offered mixed notes, praising the performances of Hopkins and Farrell while critiquing pacing and predictability. Themes center on the collision of science and intuition, the ethical costs of peering into minds, and how obsession can blur the line between savior and threat.
