What a beautiful movie!

The performances transcend the film's tropes, grounding it in characters that feel more complete than this subgenre often produces.
Ortiz
Excellent and certainly provocative... If nothing else, the film is a real conversation starter.
Phillipa
Strong acting helps the film overcome an uncertain premise and create characters that hold our attention absolutely.

EARLY PLOT SPOILERThe best way to watch this film is cold, having read no reviews including this one. Damian (Ben Kingsley) is a rich guy who has an opportunity to live on in another body under a new identity. It cost a bit, but beats death. He takes over the body of Ryan Reynolds and then BAM! we soon discover 30 minutes into the film we are watching a modern update of "Hauser's Memory." Once we figure out what the pills are for and are 36 minutes into the feature, we know how it ends, just how do they get us there.Ryan did a decent job of imitating the mannerisms of Ben Kingsley, yet his acting was lack luster. There have been a number of films on this topic, with this one being superior to say "Hauser's Memory" but then again, what isn't better than a 1970's made for TV film. Makes for a good rental.Guide: 1 F-bomb. Brief dark sex/nudity?

Well, this is my first review.
After I read the reviews I was in two minds, whether to watch or not. Then I thought I'll give it a try, mainly coz of Ryan & Tarsem (The Fall, I loved it).
I would say right from the start the movie gets us involved and it keeps the same pace throughout.
I'll not give away much details so yeah do give it a try, you'll not regret it.

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?

This movie fell solidly into OK territory. It wasn't that good but also not that bad.A man by the name of Damian Hale (Ben Kingsley) is dying from cancer and has months to live at best. He opts for a highly experimental option to death which is essentially placing his life into a younger, healthier lifeless body. After being plagued by the memories of his new body, the young Damian (Ryan Reynolds) decides to investigate what he truly got himself into.Although it is not a cloning movie I kept having thoughts of The Sixth Sense. The movie is somewhat creative but not creative enough. It held my attention enough to watch it all the way through but I still had one eye on a book I was reading. There are some chase scenes and a steady peeling away of the onion but nothing groundbreaking.
