Meanwhile, John begins to realize, over the course of their case, that he's up against someone very familiar, and someone who may very well be better than him.
The film is perhaps better known for having originally been written as a sequel to ''Film/{{Se7en}}'', with Morgan Freeman as the psychic, before it was scrapped and later rewritten with Hopkins in the role as ''Solace''.

!!This film exhibits the following tropes:
* FairCop: Katherine is far from hard on the eyes.

* YouCantFightFate: This is played with. John visualizes [[spoiler:John dying in the hospital and Katherine with blood flowing down her head after a gunshot]]. The first happens exactly as visualized with an indication that it was too late to change their fate already. The second first happens exactly as the vision predicted, then he changes his action slightly and [[spoiler:the blood on Katherine's face is from a graze on John's head, not from her own injury]].
