Review of Self/less (2015) by Ydnar4 — 27 Aug 2015
Self/less is a movie that might share pieces of plot with other films but I wasn’t expecting the film to be strong and I was right. Self/less really doesn’t screw around and you don’t have to wait for the story to get underway and the first half of the story is the best part of the film.
I’m never sure of Ryan Reynolds but I would say that he did a pretty good job here. He really was the right man to chose for this type of film but it just wasn’t executed right. I think that this guy could easily be a movie star for years to come but he just has make better choices. He is constantly getting stuck in mediocre films.
The major problem with Self/less is that is makes such little use of the creative premise. Rather than crafting a interesting thriller out of this premise this film became nothing more than a really lame sci-fi action movie and even the action was a disappointment. The film runs about 20 minutes too long and the film was also achingly predictable which I was not expecting after watching the trailer that promised a mind binding film.
