Review of Cold Souls (2009) by Soner T — 01 Mar 2010

Mostly, when a movie's core idea is impossible -- in this case, that you can have your soul removed and placed in storage, that you can have another person's stored soul implanted, that the soul is a physical object -- you're constantly aware of the impossibility, and even if it's a good movie you enjoy it in the same way you enjoy Star Wars, having fun but not taking it seriously at all.

But with Cold Souls, you might find yourself accepting the impossible premise, actually hoping Paul Giamatti finds out more about his implanted soul, hoping he gets his own soul back, seriously stressing over the fate of Dina Korzun's character.

This is a well-acted, interesting movie.
