jeeap Ideal movie for Friday night but nothing else. I was a little bit dissapointed not to see weird colors and costumes that are typical for Tarsem Singh. He made it standard Hollywood way. Hopefully he didn't lose his touch because of that.

a-hilton The film interested me because I was correct in thinking that it would be a remake of an old John Frankenheimer film called "Seconds" The original starred Rock Hudson in a much darker premise where a salesman wants to change his life (rather than is dying) - I won't reveal any more in case you want to check it out for yourself. Self/less otherwise stands up in its own right and is reasonably entertaining which is my main yardstick for a film. There are mixed reviews around the normally excellent Ben Kingsley's contribution - personally I couldn't get past his accent. Ryan Reynolds played the part well but not as an "ex military" type so possibly miscast here. Apart from trying too hard to tie up the loose ends it was otherwise a good story.

yiskarasmussen I loved this movie. It's one of those theoretical stories that challenges the ethics of medical and scientific advancement, and whilst being thoroughly entertaining, it also leaves you with a lot to think about...Damien Hale is an old man, he has been informed that he has only six months to live, but just as he is making peace with the fact, he is offered a second chance at a rejuvenated life. What would you do? He goes through with the procedure, but shortly after begins to discover that the choices he's made have dire consequences... Again he must chose, and again. What would you do, turn a blind eye to all that you know for the purpose of ensuring your lasting self identity, or lose your mind for the sake of others?

dave-70421 I have to completely echo what has been said, just what on earth do so called "professional" or "expert" reviewers expect from a film like this to rate it so bad and moan how it could be so much better etc?. This is a classic and possibly the best example I've seen to say and indicate that we should ignore and disregard the so called "professional" or "expert" reviewers and put more weight onto what the general public movie fans say instead.For me this is probably the best film I've sen in the last year and I've seen loads. And certainly the biggest difference between what so called "experts" have said and felt myself.Not to sure on the genre though as it has a bit of everything, action, thriller, drama & even a hint of sci-fi as well as being quite emotional in parts. And either way you see the film going it at least has an ending you cant really find anything to complain about which is a rare thing to see in films these days.The cast and acting is top notch and with the story pretty much of award winning standard I thought. Story is good, flows well and is easy to follow and get into. Though the sci-fi element is slightly unrealistic in today's world, but maybe more realistic in the next 20 years or so.For me, a great film, certainly not less than an 8/10 and came close to giving it a 9. So do yourself a favour, ignore the so called "professionals" & "experts" for once and watch what is actually a great film.
