Self/less

"A fast-paced sci-fi thriller with too many contrivances (...) The failings of Self/less reveal a good deal about what has gone wrong with American movies over the last 50 years" 

"This new science-fiction thriller borrows the foundation of a much better film — John Frankenheimer’s 1966 'Seconds' — and strips it of any larger meaning" 

"A solidly effective sci-fi thriller (...) There are enough twists and turns in Self/less to keep things interesting (...) both on an emotional level (...) and on a moral level" 

"An initially intriguing parable about man's lust for immortality that quickly devolves into a substandard shoot-'em-up designed to rebrand star Ryan Reynolds as a brawny action hero" 

"Any intelligence is tossed once we get mired in a series of dull chase scenes. (...) Rating: ★★ (out of five)" 

"A conventional-looking films with a screenplay from brothers David and Alex Pastor that raises some fascinating issues and offers a tease or two of a better movie before devolving into a medley of chases and shootouts (...) Rating: ★★ (out of four)" 

"Self/Less suggests plenty of questions about the nature of identity, the morality of scientific exploration, and the price of aging. But the script (...) doesn’t craft characters complicated enough to engage in those concepts"
