A suspense-filled nailbiter that plays on a fear no weapon weidling psycho can top.

See it and worry.

...a genuinely suspenseful mystery thriller, with a conspiracy angle unfolding in due course without a lot of fuss and bother.
November 27, 2007
This is a tidy conspiracy-theory thriller from Crichton, who accentuates the tension by packing it into a wholly believable, human framework.

Audiences used to a faster pace today will find the talky first half tough going.

Coma is an extremely entertaining suspense drama in the Hitchcock tradition.
May 09, 2005
The aftereffect of Coma is a catlike yawn, benign and bored.

More entertaining than credible.

A superb suspense-thriller.

The boys'-club politics at the hospital provide the picture with interesting subtext right in line with the sexual dynamics of the period; Bujold proves to be a worthy champion for the feminist cause.
November 27, 2007
Coma wastes a superb performance by Bujold on a simplistic, predictable series of cliched suspense scenes, seasoned with some last-minute moralizing about contemporary medicine.

Michael Crichton's slow-paced thriller must have begun with something to say about the morality of the medical profession, but whatever it was is lost in the shuffle of unnecessary narrative detail.
