Like its predecessor, the new Flatliners subjugates ethical and moral questions about playing God to the pedantic problems of its protagonists.

However much one might applaud the restraint, it has to be said that Oplev hasnt managed to devise any alternative chill raisers.

In the beginning they sold it to us as a sequel, but then they gave us a very decaffeinated remake that fails in everything.
