Self/less (2015)

Also Known As: Selfless Der Fremde in mir, Renaissances, Inmortal
Year of first release: 2015
Director: Tarsem Singh
Actors: Ryan Reynolds, Natalie Martinez, Matthew Goode, Ben Kingsley
Country: USA
Genre: Action, SF
Conditions of visioning: 10.08.2015, Schauburg, OV Sneak preview
Synopsis: Damian (Kingsley) is a rich but dying real estate mogul. He decides to transfer his consciousness into a healthy young body (Reynolds), thanks to a secret company and his chief Albright (Goode). But soon finds that neither the procedure nor the company that performed it are quite what they seem. 
Review: The movie started very good with the introduction of the characters and the very SF idea. Once Reynolds becomes the main characters an interesting quest in himself seems to start. But no. It fell (after 30 minutes of movie) fast down into a shoot-them-up where nobody knows what is the quest, nobody knows why is there anger against the doctors. We just see that there is an uncontrolled violence against all what is around. 
Rating: 2 /10

  1. I read in Mad Movies that Self/less was maybe the least bad release of the summer, but your review is not very positive. I liked Singh's colorful The Fall.
