Hey what's up guys
Today I'll show you a mystery-thriller film: "Solace"
Spoiler ahead, watch out and take care
The movie begins where a dead bald man is lying on his chair, with his eyes wide open
The man appears to finally find his solace
The detectives led by "Mr Mustache" and "Beauty", arrive at the crime scene to investigate
They figure out that the man died from a single blow in the back of his head,
which is a similar method used in the preceding murder cases in the town
The murder cases are done by a meticulous method, and leave no trace from the crime scene
They then conclude that the murderer is a serial killer, who is trying to find his next victim
The detective appears to be hopeless,
since they cannot find a single clue that will lead them to the killer
In desperation, Mr Mustache decides to seek help from his old psychic friend,
called "Uncle Psychic,"
who is a doctor and has the capacity to have a vision of the past and the future
Beauty is skeptical of Uncle Psychic's ability; but Mr Mustache seems to fully trust him,
since Uncle Psychic appears to help the detectives on solving criminal cases in the past
So the following day, he proceeds to drive with her towards Uncle Psychic's home in the mountains
It turns out that Uncle Psychic decides to live in the mountains after the death of his daughter,
who died of leukemia two years ago
The tragic death of his daughter also led him to break up with his wife
They soon arrive at Uncle Psychic's house, to convince him to help them solve the murder case
But Uncle Psychic is reluctant to help them, as he wants to live in peace
As Beauty comes to give him the file case, she gives him a light tap
Her touch suddenly gives him a vague vision of her death
As Uncle Psychic decisively refuses to help them, they finally leave his house
Later, Uncle Psychic is peacefully reminiscing his vision about his daughter
In his vision, his young daughter is playing around wearing a pink costume
He also has a vision of his teenage daughter screaming in pain,
and a vision of her happily laughing
In a few moments, he comes to check the file case,
where a line was written by the killer suddenly intrigues him
Coincidentally, the line turns out to be from the music which he is listening to at that moment
He then walks outside, where he gains a vision of a strange man looking at him
The strange man seems to be the killer
The coincidence of the line and the vision of a strange man greatly intrigues him,
so he finally decides to help the detectives to catch the serial killer
The following day, Uncle Psychic comes to the city to have a briefing about the case
In the briefing, Beauty reveals the consistency of the killer's murder method
As he comes to hold the case photo,
he gains a vague vision of the child eating ice cream right before being murdered
After that, they bring Uncle Psychic towards the crime scene of the first murder victim
But upon inspecting the first crime scene, Uncle Psychic fails to find anything
Uncle Psychic just jokingly says that the woman likes wearing a hat
After that, Uncle Psychic and Mr Mustache come to eat in a food stall on the rainy streets
As Mr Mustache gives him a light tap,
he suddenly gains a vision of Mr Mustache, dying in the hospital
At that moment, he seems to be concerned; but he keeps it a secret from Mr Mustache
Later, as he is walking towards his room,
he keeps having a strange vision that seems to be related to the killer
He keeps having a vision of the word "Atticus", and a running train
In his sleep, he gains a vision of a drowning beautiful woman asking for help
He then wakes up, receiving a call from the detectives
It turns out that the detectives find another murder victim
As they arrive at the crime scene, they find a note with the number 4 16,
which turns out to be the time of their arrival at the crime scene
The note implies that the killer knows they will arrive exactly at that time
Shortly after, Uncle Psychic comes to check the victim,
who turns out to be the beautiful woman from his vision
He touches the victim, and he magically sees the events leading to her death
He sees that the woman lays in the bathtub, thinking that her husband prepares it for her
As the woman is enjoying the moment,
the killer then instantly pierces the back of her head, leading to her quick death
Meanwhile, the detectives speculate that the killer might be her husband
So they come to the headquarters to interrogate the husband,
while Uncle Psychic listens on the side
The husband tells them that he has already left the murdered woman for another woman
The husband then left a letter for the murdered woman
But Uncle Psychic knows that the husband is not telling the whole story,
since he already has the vision of the whole story, by touching the husband's writing pen
Uncle Psychic then reveals that the husband left the woman for another man
The husband also appears to be infected by HIV
The husband then knows that telling the woman about his sexuality and his disease,
would leave great damage to the woman, since the woman appears to be emotionally unstable
After that, Uncle Psychic and Mr Mustache proceed to eat their breakfast in Mr Mustache's home
Apparently, Mr Mustache lives happily with his family
As they eat breakfast together,
Uncle Psychic reveals that the murder victims appear to be severely ill, except the child
It appears that the serial killer targets those people, who are suffering from chronic illnesses
To confirm Uncle Psychic's speculation,
they need to examine the child victim's body, to check if the child has an illness
So Uncle Psychic and Beauty drive towards the child's family to convince them to examine the child
Along the way, Beauty asks Uncle Psychic about his ability
He then says that his ability is not mystical or supernatural,
but only a more powerful version of human intuition
Shortly after, they finally arrive at the child victim's home
The mother is reluctant to agree to examine the child's body, because of religious beliefs
It seems that she only believes in God's plan
But Uncle Psychic convinces her by telling the story about his daughter, who died from leukemia
He says that medical procedures would not alter God's plan;
but it would help them solve the mystery behind the murderous event
The mother then finally gives them permission to examine the child's body
So later at the lab, they conduct an autopsy on the child's body
At that moment, Uncle Psychic receives a message from the killer,
telling him to check the brain of the child
As the doctor checks the brain of the child, the doctor finds a small tumor hidden in the brain
This confirms Uncle Psychic's speculation that the killer targets only the people with chronic illness
At the same time, Uncle Psychic figures out that the killer also has the capacity to see the future
The killer appears to know their actions ahead of them
So Uncle Psychic decides to leave the case,
knowing that they are walking towards a trap set by the killer
Later, Beauty comes to Uncle Psychic to express her resentment at his decision to leave the case
Uncle Psychic then declares that it is completely useless to catch the killer,
since the killer murder the victims as an act of kindness
The killer murders the victims to save them from the pain,
that they would suffer from their illnesses
Uncle Psychic suddenly falls into silence,
as Beauty asks him what he would do if the victim turned out to be her daughter
Beauty then bugs him about the things he knows
So he reveals Beauty's painful past
Apparently, she has a child, but she gives up the child to the adoption center
Beauty then tearfully forces Uncle Psychic to tell her more
But he refuses to reveal that Ms Beauty would be shot by the killer
The following day, Mr Mustache and the police officers raid the killer's apartment,
thinking that the killer is there
But it appears to be a false alarm, since they only find a mutilated body of a man
The scene inside the apartment appears to be horrifying,
where body parts are scattered, and a top half dress is hanging on the wall
Mr Mustache appears to be hopeless about the case,
so he chases Uncle Psychic, who is about to go home that day
Uncle Psychic is also having a vision of flowers and frogs, which appears to be related to the case
At the same time, he also sees Nuns singing a prayer,
while Mr Mustache is screaming in pain in his visions
Mr Mustache arrives, and asks him to help them again as a personal favor
He then agrees to join them again in the case
After that, Mr Mustache brings him towards the location of their new clue
Apparently, the detectives find a snail poison on the murdered woman's bathwater
The poison can be found on a specific flower found in the park
So Mr Mustache brings him there
He touches the flower, and sees a garbage can in the middle of the flower field
The detectives then search the garbage can, and find the lower half of the dress from earlier
They then let the police dog sniff the dress, so they can trace the person who puts it there
After the dog sniffs the dress, it leads them towards a studio room
But they find nothing there
A young man holding a frog mug, walks out of the opposite studio room
The scene appears to be already seen by Uncle Psychic from his visions
The young man instantly shoots Mr Mustache, and immediately escapes out of there
As Uncle Psychic and Beauty walk out of the apartment, the young man is already gone
So Uncle Psychic and Ms Beauty ride a car to chase the young man
Uncle Psychic uses his ability to trace the young man's location
As they finally locate the young man, the scene turns into an intense car chase
With the help of Uncle Psychic's ability, they soon catch the young man
Uncle Psychic suddenly gets a vision that the young man would shoot him
So he hides behind the car, and allows Beauty to shoot the young man
This makes Uncle Psychic realize that the young man is not the killer,
since the young man is not able to predict getting shot by her
After that, Uncle Psychic comes to visit Mr Mustache in the hospital
It turns out that Mr Mustache is already suffering from stage 4 cancer, and is about to die
He then instructs Uncle Psychic to take care of his family after his death
Later, Uncle Psychic reveals to Beauty the appearance of his vision about his daughter's death
It turns out that he saw a shadow surrounding his daughter during her childhood
As his daughter became a teenager,
the vision finally manifested, and his daughter died from leukemia
The following day, the church conducts a funeral ceremony for Mr Mustache, who just died from cancer
Uncle Psychic feels relief,
upon knowing that Mr Mustache's son would live a good life in the future
At that moment, he sees his visions about Mr Mustache happening, as he sees nuns singing prayers
Later at night, he goes to have some drinks in the bar, to mourn for Mr Mustache's death
There, the killer suddenly reveals itself to him
The killer then explains to Uncle Psychic that
his murderous acts are in favor of the murder victims,
since he sees the victims begging to end their pain in the future
The murder acts are not pleasurable for him
On the contrary, it is really hard for him to murder them;
but he needs to do it as a favor for the victim
He then says that the greatest acts of love are the hardest acts to commit
Meanwhile, Uncle Psychic takes a look at the future,
to check if he can let the police catch the killer
But it turns out that the killer already figures out
that he can escape safely from all the possibilities
Uncle Psychic suddenly smashes the killer's head
But the killer instantly informs the police that Uncle Psychic has a gun
The police then catch Uncle Psychic, instead of catching the killer, who instantly escapes
The following day, Beauty and the police forces finally know the appearance of the killer,
as the waitress from the bar reveals it
She also tells the detective to trace the identity of the killer,
from the chronically ill murder victims in the country
Meanwhile, Uncle Psychic is concentrating on his visions to trace the location of the killer
In a few moments, he gains a vision of someone injecting poison on champagne
Shortly after, a chronically ill rich man finds champagne on his table, and drinks it
The rich man feels dizzy; and the killer reveals itself to murder the rich man
To the killer's surprise, Uncle Psychic is sitting there to prevent him from murdering the rich man
The killer decides to back off, and escapes from there
Uncle Psychic then chases him
Meanwhile, Beauty finally traces the real identity of the killer
She then comes to raid the killer's apartment, together with the police officers
But it turns out that the killer already predicts her arrival in the apartment,
as a video of the killer awaits her there
The killer explains to her that he is not a psychopath, or an antisocial
He is just a normal guy, who decides to respond to other people's pain
At this moment, Uncle Psychic is chasing the killer on the streets
He passes through a hospital, and recalls his daughter screaming from pain
Meanwhile, the killer tells a loser cop on the streets,
to report his location to the cop's supervisor
Beauty and the police officers then receive the report
This makes her rush towards the location
The killer rides the train; and Uncle Psychic also follows him there
The killer shoots his gun, making the people run away from the train,
which leaves him alone with Uncle Psychic on the train
Shortly after, the train leaves the station, and heads towards the next station
The police officers are preparing to confront the killer in the next station
The captain tells Beauty not to respond to the situation,
since the police officers have everything in control
But Beauty is stubborn, and proceeds to go there
Meanwhile, on the train,
the killer reveals that Uncle Psychic would kill him at their arrival at the next station
It turns out that the killer is also dying from an illness, so he needs Uncle Psychic to kill him
Uncle Psychic then gains a vision that the killer would shoot Beauty on the next station
So this serves as a driving force for Uncle Psychic to shoot the killer
As they finally arrive at the next station,
Uncle Psychic sees that his visions are slowly becoming real
Left without a choice, Uncle Psychic shoots the killer to save Beauty from getting killed
In the end, Beauty ends up safe, while Uncle Psychic suffers from minor injuries
The movie ends where Uncle Psychic finally reunites with his wife
He then recalls the moment before their daughter died
Apparently, Uncle Psychic euthanized their daughter, to end her suffering from pain due to leukemia
It is a difficult decision for Uncle Psychic, but he knows it is necessary for his daughter
This gives sense to the killer's line that,
"the greatest acts of love are the hardest acts to commit"
