When a loved one dies, are they gone forever? As head of emergency services for Chicago Memorial Hospital, Dr. Joe Darrow (Kevin Costner) is a respected expert in trauma and triage. But his professional knowledge provides little comfort when tragedy claims the life of his wife. A doctor herself, Emily Darrow (Susanna Thompson) was on a medical mercy mission when she died in a bus accident on a remote mountain road in Venezuela. Joe starts believing his wife is trying to communicate with him.

Critics Consensus

Sappy, dull, and muddled, Dragonfly is too melancholic and cliched to generate much suspense.

Boring, phony and a complete waste of talent.

The undisputed king of the cornball concept, Kevin Costner has an uncanny aptitude for gravitating toward the dopiest projects in sight, but this time he's outdone himself.

I liked the premise of the film & the comment about 'many levels of consciousness' with regard to anesthitists putting people under to just the right degree was poignant. Semler's beautiful camera work added visual depth & atmosphere. The supporting cast were very good, especially Bates. The main downsides for me were Costner's trademark wooden acting, the OTT moment when he leapt of the cliff at gunpoint, & his trite narration at the end. With a strong actor in the lead role it could have been a good film.

The only thing that could make this sappy mess any worse would be Kevin Costner narrating it, which he actually does, in the last minute of the film, thereby delivering a merciful deathblow. Not "Battlefield Earth" awful, but still awful.
