Review of Self/less (2015) by Jeffrey M — 14 Apr 2016
Surprisingly engaging, creative, and an overall fun ride--Self/less is a film that surprises. In it we find a dying real estate mogul (who oddly lives in what appears to be Trump's penthouse) desperately looking to keep himself going. An offer comes his way, allowing him to seemingly start a new life with a new body. But, alas, nothing is as it seems.
I went in to the film expecting some sort of B movie, but the film is rather surprising in that it offers some interesting twists, has some really good action, and good acting. Though not a fan, I must admit that Ryan Reynolds was even a good fit for his role. The character switch that occurs is actually rather seamless, and the film feels cohesive and immensely intriguing. There's some cliches and retreads, to be sure, but ultimately it feels like a satisfying and fun ride.
A competent science fiction piece.
