Self/Less


The title of this movie and "/" between the words tells much.  You have to see it to know why.

I was curious about this story when I saw the preview. I must have been the only one because when we went to see it on Thursday night, we had the place to ourselves.

Quick:  Ben Kinsley plays a Manhattan developer (like Trump with no hair).  He is dying of cancer and hears of a way to extend his life by a process that exchanges his body for another younger one and also retain all your thoughts, etc.  Sounds Great!

His new body is that of a guy (Ryan Reynolds). There are side effects though and he has to regularly take a red pill to keep his mind in check and not have weird thoughts.  He is also told that his new body was created in a lab.

Then as in any good sic-fi he begins to find out OTHER things.

This is a great "What If?' story that will give you much to think about.

I liked it. It has a great cast besides the two main characters and a well conceived plot.

Summer Fun. PG13  I give it ***stars. 2015 Movie 32
