Solace movie quotes provide the dialogue to the mystery thriller about one psychic who helps the FBI chase after a psychic serial killer. The film, which was originally intended as a sequel to Se7en, was written by Ted Griffin and Sean Bailey and directed by Afonso Poyart. Solace opened theatrically in the United States on December 16, 2016.
In Solace, FBI Special Agents Joe Merriweather (Jeffrey Dean Morgan) and Katherine Cowles (Abbie Cornish) investigate a string of serial murders. When the bodies begin to pile up, Joe calls in help from psychic doctor John Clancy (Anthony Hopkins), much to the displeasure of Katherine.
When John examines one of the crime scenes, he realizes that the killer, Charles Ambrose (Colin Farrell), is a fellow psychic. John knows that the killer is anticipating the FBI's moves through his psychic visions, which are more powerful than John's. With the FBI always one step behind the killer, John wonders if pursuing this suspect is even worth attempting.
Solace movie quotes feature lines from the film just as other movie quotes do for their respective movies such as for A Kind of Murder, Collateral Beauty, Rogue One: A Star Wars Story, and Miss Sloane.
Solace Movie Quotes,
He's Way Ahead of Us
Joe: You've gotta talk to me.
John: He's way ahead of us and we're doing exactly what he wants us to do.
Joe is eager to hear more about what John thinks of the case and asks him to talk more in these Solace movie quotes. All John knows is that the FBI is playing right into the killer's plan, whatever that is.
An Ounce of Confidence
Katherine: Will all due respect, I don't hold an ounce of confidence in the paranormal as a field.
John: No, no problem at all, I feel the same about shrinks, after only one thing, your money.
Katherine does not believe that bringing a psychic into a serial killer investigation will help, and expresses as much to psychic John in these Solace movie quotes. John isn't bothered by this news as he too has his own issues with certain professions.
The Whole Thing's a Trap
John: The whole thing's a trap and we are walking right into it.
John warns Joe that they've sent the FBI team into a trap set up by the killer. John feels the killer knows the events of the future and is waiting for the FBI.
Something Bad
John: Something bad is going to happen, something really bad.
In perhaps the most vague statement ever, John gives some words of wisdom in this Solace movie quote. He states something bad will happen, which is true of every situation everywhere at any time.
Is He Really Worth Stopping?
John: He's way beyond me and I can't stop him, which begs a more important question: Is he really worth stopping?
When John realizes that the killer cannot be caught as he knows the FBI's move before they make them, he ponders if it's even worth trying. Of course it's worth trying, otherwise they wouldn't have made a movie about it.
Three Murders
Katherine: Three murders, identical M.O.
Joe: I need to go see him.
Katherine: I think it's a big mistake.
After the FBI notices a pattern in a series of murders in these Solace movie quotes, Agent Joe wants to call in some help. Considering this help is from a psychic, Katherine is not in agreement.
He Knows Everything
John: Who am I? I will tell you in two words who I am, what I do and how I live.
Katherine: The riddle left by the killer, what about it?
John: It's not a riddle.
Katherine: What is it?
John: [speaks Italian] It's from the opera La Bohème by Puccini.
Katherine: So the killer is an opera nut. Great, that really helps with the profile. Thank you, Clancy.
John: No, I'm the nut. I'm the opera nut. I just happened to be listening to those lines, those exact words the very moment I was reading the case files you brought me.
Katherine: I don't, I don't get it.
John: He knew I would be listening to that music. He knew that you would ask me it. He knew that we would arrive at the apartment at the exact time of 4:16 am because he knows everything.
Katherine and John discuss a line from La Bohème left by the killer, which Katherine sees as a riddle. John has other ideas, mainly that the killer knew John would listen to that opera when reading the case file and that the killer is simply taunting John.
He's Just Like Me
John: Can I touch her?
Joe: John, what are you seeing?
John: I'm not sure.
Katherine: Joe, take a look at this. 4:16, a bible verse?
John: That's the time, 4:16 precisely. He knew that we would arrive at the apartment at 4:16 because he knows everything. See, he's just like me. He sees things, only he's better, a whole lot better.
At a crime scene, John touches the body and gets visions of what happened. After Joe and Katherine notice 4:16 on a note card on the wall, John realizes that a fellow psychic is the mastermind behind the killings.
