Cubussoli Very very predictable, including the post credit scene !!!

UnowPriceless hyped garbage

CrawlerChunky In truth, there is barely enough story here to make a film.

TrueHello Fun premise, good actors, bad writing. This film seemed to have potential at the beginning but it quickly devolves into a trite action film. Ultimately it's very boring.

konporer All logic or reality is thrown out of the window when a widow and child have the hope of getting their husband back, a ruthless tycoon self made millionaire suddenly changed to this typical hollywood hero and decidedly to go the unreasonable and totally illogical way of murdering at least 30+ people to save one man, who himself already made the choice to die?,, ??? LOL? Though of course based on how the movie led to he general audience to invest their emotions in, it's totally justified, yeah, it might be true also if it's for some random low IQ military brute misguided by pules of emotions, or a husband that places his wife and daughter above anything else like the owner of the original body is, but this new millionaire? for what? There's even this hilarious scene that made me cringe literally to endless, when the protagonist is murdering everybody in this, probabaly the lab where the biggest and highest scientific biological achievement ever in human history is done, a mechanic came up raising his hand saying "im just the mechanic", and our protagonists "mercifully" let him go... LOL? so how about the guards? isn't he just some hired gun? if every human life is equal that you're willing to sacrifice this greatest human biological achievement and its top scientists for one USA marine, how about you spare the equal life of other merely hired guns, guards, anyone else after you nullified their resistance or taking their guns?Not even to mention the philosophical debate and potential of depth wasted in this brainless story, if you're satisfied with another hollywood brainless one man murdering everyone just in another kind of random settings, oh but he's on the right side saving this other random guy/helpless mom or daughter you cared more because of the 5 min of time the movied forced you to remember their names thus emotions invested in, you've found the right one to watch, but why even this one, the fighting and car chasings are short and average at best,, just like the whole movie is. An average time waster.

bombersflyup Self/less isn't a great film. It has a good concept but turns out being a run of the mill action film.I have seen many Ryan Reynolds's films and he wasn't really any different here. Which was a problem, because I had to keep reminding myself it was Ben Kingsley in his body, he didn't display any different mannerisms, tendencies or expressions that he normally would. So at the end when he decides to give his body back to its host and his family and I was a bit confused, Kingsley was in Reynolds and some other guy is Reynolds. Kingsley's character gave up experiencing his second life pretty quickly, appears as though he got tired of playing ball and going to clubs. Why didn't he start fresh, living like he always has? Instead of making it his mission to fix these strangers lives. On that note, the wife/mother doesn't have the desired affect and is unevoking of any feeling. Anyway, it is all for naught as it turns into a chase shoot em up flick.

yiskarasmussen I loved this movie. It's one of those theoretical stories that challenges the ethics of medical and scientific advancement, and whilst being thoroughly entertaining, it also leaves you with a lot to think about...Damien Hale is an old man, he has been informed that he has only six months to live, but just as he is making peace with the fact, he is offered a second chance at a rejuvenated life. What would you do? He goes through with the procedure, but shortly after begins to discover that the choices he's made have dire consequences... Again he must chose, and again. What would you do, turn a blind eye to all that you know for the purpose of ensuring your lasting self identity, or lose your mind for the sake of others?

view_and_review This movie fell solidly into OK territory. It wasn't that good but also not that bad.A man by the name of Damian Hale (Ben Kingsley) is dying from cancer and has months to live at best. He opts for a highly experimental option to death which is essentially placing his life into a younger, healthier lifeless body. After being plagued by the memories of his new body, the young Damian (Ryan Reynolds) decides to investigate what he truly got himself into.Although it is not a cloning movie I kept having thoughts of The Sixth Sense. The movie is somewhat creative but not creative enough. It held my attention enough to watch it all the way through but I still had one eye on a book I was reading. There are some chase scenes and a steady peeling away of the onion but nothing groundbreaking.
