ThiefHott Too much of everything

ChicRawIdol A brilliant film that helped define a genre

Kailansorac Clever, believable, and super fun to watch. It totally has replay value.

Mandeep Tyson The acting in this movie is really good.

ole2025 Its hard to stand watching this movie. Stupidity and ignorance leads to deaths of all but one of the mothers. In almost every scene the mothers do something ignorant and half witted. Written very poorly. I shut off the movie with about 15 minutes of it left. I couldn't stand the stupidity displayed. To think actual people would have brains the size of a walnut is not impressive. I could barely stand to keep watching the movie. I kept thinking this stupidity has to end soon. No one could ever be this stupid. Stumbling and falling into holes and running from wild dogs. Cutting themselves open to find out what color matches their baby. Why not take all the babies and do a dna test instead of killing other mothers to find out which baby is yours? Duh!

TdSmth5 A couple drives around deserted roads in Australia when they are driven off the road by some old ambulance. They end up in a motel. At night the husband goes off to get something to eat. When he returns, his pregnant wife is missing. The cop and the motel attendant are a bunch of creeps. The cop ends up arresting the husband. While in the cop car he takes the cop's gun and the car and goes in search of his wife.Meanwhile the woman wakes up in a bathtub full of ice. Her lower abdomen is sutured. They have taken her baby via cesarean. She meets other women in the same condition, they all dressed like inmates with a number. "The Clinic" they find themselves in is a cow farm with some buildings that look like a factory. But they realize that someone is after them. Someone is killing them one by one. At some point they find the babies. They are color coded in cages. No one knows whose baby belongs to whom. Inside the mother's wombs are corresponding colored tags. That's the only way to identify the baby, by cutting the mother open, and indeed the killer does just that.But there are other people as well. A couple looking at all this via cameras. And there is some mentally disabled guy who disposes of the mess left behind by the athletic killer.Eventually our girl confronts the bad guys and finds out what the clinic is all about. It's a clever idea that involves a contest to determine which mother is the fittest and that way baby is stronger. There is also a twist near the end.The Clinic has a lot going for it. The lead actress, Tabrett Bethell, is one of the most beautiful actresses I've seen in a while. Poor Andy Whitfield gets a rather thankless role. The idea is great. One has to remember, as we are told at the beginning, that the story takes place before DNA testing was developed, otherwise it all seems pretty silly. In fact, one has to see this movie till the very end for the logic to work out. Though, not all questions are resolved. Still, The Clinic is a unique and interesting movie. The end proves particularly satisfying. Ordinarily, I'm not a fan of movies that don't give us a lot to work with until the end, but The Clinic gives us plenty to forgive some of the duller moments in the middle.

tamagura It was not the greatest film. I just happened to be channel surfing & there, on TMC, was a 2010 film, The Clinic, starring Andy Whitfield. Needless, to say, Andy was not the star, but it was worth seeing him again. He was special and I shall always have a special place in my heart for him and his family. At least when I tuned in, it happened to be when Andy Whitfiled was on the screen. He had just been arrested & was in the police car. The policeman was a real piece of work. He was eating what looked like thick and long spaghetti noodles while he was driving. Andy was cuffed in the backseat and, in true Spartacus style, he got the policeman's gun, had him get out of the car & cuffed the cop around a tree out in the desert. Andy drove off & after finding out who had kidnapped his wife & where she was being held, as he approached what looked like a factory, the tires on the car were blown out by spikes across the road. It looked like Andy had met his demise. (I am not sure what happened because I fell asleep.) It was still worth seeing Andy again.

Saad Khan THE CLINIC – CATCH IT ( B- ) Set in 1970s Australia, The Clinic is a very unusual tale of kidnapped pregnant women who are trapped and look for their new born babies. The whole take on a complicated concept is really good and throughout it keeps you engaging. There were few things I didn't like in the movie and I thought it could have been better. For example, I didn't like was how Andy Whitfield's character ends up. Not for a second it seemed like he will wind up like this. It seemed like he refuse to shoot more scenes. Besides that the screenplay could have been little tight. Performance wise Andy Whitfield didn't get much scope, though he was the first reason I end up watching "The Clinic'. Tabrett Bethell as a leading lady is really good and keeps us invested. Overall, a decent Aussie thriller with engaging unusual story. P.S rumor has it, its inspired by true events.
