Solace is a 2015 American mystery thriller film directed by Afonso Poyart and starring Anthony Hopkins, Colin Farrell, Jeffrey Dean Morgan and Abbie Cornish.

Its storyline follows a psychic doctor, John Clancy (Anthony Hopkins), who works with FBI special agent Joe Merriwether (Jeffrey Dean Morgan) in search of serial killer Charles Ambrose (Colin Farrell).

The psychic is contacted by his friend, Joe Merriwether, an FBI special agent, who asks for his help in tracking down a serial killer with very elaborate methods.

Joe seems unable to convince Clancy, but when his partner criminal psychologist Dr. Katherine Cowles enters and touches him on the shoulder after giving him the case files, he envisions a violent future event with blood spilling down Katherine's forehead, among other insights into her life.
