Kattiera Nana I think this is a new genre that they're all sort of working their way through it and haven't got all the kinks worked out yet but it's a genre that works for me.

Glimmerubro It is not deep, but it is fun to watch. It does have a bit more of an edge to it than other similar films.

CrawlerChunky In truth, there is barely enough story here to make a film.

Robert Joyner The plot isn't so bad, but the pace of storytelling is too slow which makes people bored. Certain moments are so obvious and unnecessary for the main plot. I would've fast-forwarded those moments if it was an online streaming. The ending looks like implying a sequel, not sure if this movie will get one

konporer All logic or reality is thrown out of the window when a widow and child have the hope of getting their husband back, a ruthless tycoon self made millionaire suddenly changed to this typical hollywood hero and decidedly to go the unreasonable and totally illogical way of murdering at least 30+ people to save one man, who himself already made the choice to die?,, ??? LOL? Though of course based on how the movie led to he general audience to invest their emotions in, it's totally justified, yeah, it might be true also if it's for some random low IQ military brute misguided by pules of emotions, or a husband that places his wife and daughter above anything else like the owner of the original body is, but this new millionaire? for what? There's even this hilarious scene that made me cringe literally to endless, when the protagonist is murdering everybody in this, probabaly the lab where the biggest and highest scientific biological achievement ever in human history is done, a mechanic came up raising his hand saying "im just the mechanic", and our protagonists "mercifully" let him go... LOL? so how about the guards? isn't he just some hired gun? if every human life is equal that you're willing to sacrifice this greatest human biological achievement and its top scientists for one USA marine, how about you spare the equal life of other merely hired guns, guards, anyone else after you nullified their resistance or taking their guns?Not even to mention the philosophical debate and potential of depth wasted in this brainless story, if you're satisfied with another hollywood brainless one man murdering everyone just in another kind of random settings, oh but he's on the right side saving this other random guy/helpless mom or daughter you cared more because of the 5 min of time the movied forced you to remember their names thus emotions invested in, you've found the right one to watch, but why even this one, the fighting and car chasings are short and average at best,, just like the whole movie is. An average time waster.

mitsah After I saw the trailer I needed to see the film and it did surprise me in the positive way. Face Off 2.0. Good and convincing acting, good storyline, never boring and of course a happy end.

niehow A reviewer said he liked this because it was "entertaining". Well, that's his right to say, but for others it's a much more complex issue. I believe a film has a responsibility to be something more than mere entertainment. A porn film is mere entertainment. First off , a film needs some originality of which this film had none. When a film just regurgitates older films it must have something unique. Again, this film had none. The story it self could have been so much more! I want to have to THINK. I want to have to see it 2 or 3 times because it's so intricate I need to. Why cant Hollywood write a screenplay anymore? Look at South Korea for example. Every year 4 or 5 amazing films come out of that country made on a tenth of this budget. Has America become so entitled that they just have forgotten what true pain, misery, and drama are?

nicholls_les Now I recently watched two movies pretty close together. The first was 'The Girl on a Train', a movie that the critics raved on about. Then I saw this movie 'Self /Less' and to be honest only bought the DVD because it was cheap. Now 'The Girl on a Train' was one of the biggest pieces of cinematic junk I have had the misfortune to watch, whereas this movie 'Self /Less' was a really good movie.The acting was first rate with all the lead roles being done brilliantly. Ben Kingsley was outstanding but both Ryan Reynolds and Natalie Martinez were also really good. Oh and the little girl acting as the daughter (I don't know her name) was wonderful and an actress to watch out for in the future I am sure. The story is a good one and the film moves at a good pace, fast enough to keep you interested but not so fast as to lose the thriller element.I seriously wonder how movie critics and reviewers get and keep their jobs. If a movie says 'Critics are raving about...' I will tend to give that movie a wide birth.As for this under rated movie, it is well worth a watch.
