Wonderfully offbeat film!

This movie is the proof that the world is becoming a sick and dumb place

This movie tries so hard to be funny, yet it falls flat every time. Just another example of recycled ideas repackaged with women in an attempt to appeal to a certain audience.

The plot isn't so bad, but the pace of storytelling is too slow which makes people bored. Certain moments are so obvious and unnecessary for the main plot. I would've fast-forwarded those moments if it was an online streaming. The ending looks like implying a sequel, not sure if this movie will get one

Disappointing given the interesting premise. Watch Altered Carbon on Netflix instead.

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?

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.

Now I recently watched two movies pretty close together. The first was 'The Girl on a Train', a movie that the critics raved on about. Then I saw this movie 'Self /Less' and to be honest only bought the DVD because it was cheap. Now 'The Girl on a Train' was one of the biggest pieces of cinematic junk I have had the misfortune to watch, whereas this movie 'Self /Less' was a really good movie.The acting was first rate with all the lead roles being done brilliantly. Ben Kingsley was outstanding but both Ryan Reynolds and Natalie Martinez were also really good. Oh and the little girl acting as the daughter (I don't know her name) was wonderful and an actress to watch out for in the future I am sure. The story is a good one and the film moves at a good pace, fast enough to keep you interested but not so fast as to lose the thriller element.I seriously wonder how movie critics and reviewers get and keep their jobs. If a movie says 'Critics are raving about...' I will tend to give that movie a wide birth.As for this under rated movie, it is well worth a watch.
