It is a performances centric movie

A Masterpiece!

While it doesn't offer any answers, it both thrills and makes you think.

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 fear of death is one of the primordial fears of humans and for some, it is the most frightening. This movie deals with the reality of life: it doesn't last forever! I totally enjoyed the profundity of this movie and Ben Kingsley's interpretation of the main character is impeccable. Finally a real science fiction movie and not the usual action story packed with impressive CGI. If you, like me, enjoy true science fiction movies, this is a must watch!

EARLY PLOT SPOILERThe best way to watch this film is cold, having read no reviews including this one. Damian (Ben Kingsley) is a rich guy who has an opportunity to live on in another body under a new identity. It cost a bit, but beats death. He takes over the body of Ryan Reynolds and then BAM! we soon discover 30 minutes into the film we are watching a modern update of "Hauser's Memory." Once we figure out what the pills are for and are 36 minutes into the feature, we know how it ends, just how do they get us there.Ryan did a decent job of imitating the mannerisms of Ben Kingsley, yet his acting was lack luster. There have been a number of films on this topic, with this one being superior to say "Hauser's Memory" but then again, what isn't better than a 1970's made for TV film. Makes for a good rental.Guide: 1 F-bomb. Brief dark sex/nudity?

Kingsley is a money taking whatever. Premise is that 'somehow' consciousness can be 'downloaded.. not only that but it can be the 'uploaded' into another sorta dead but not quite explained person's head! It's so bad coz it's so effin pretentious with no grasp of some pretty deep stufff. Seriously, Kingsley can wrap himself up in himself. He phones in a ham and eels performance that's offensive. From there on if you watch, read more, yer a moron.

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.
