Even the resourceful, likable Reynolds is at a loss to elevate this rather dreary piece of would-be escapism...
Full reviewBen Kingsley stars in this sci-fi thriller as a wealthy man dying of cancer. In an effort to save himself, he puts his life in the hands of an experimental scientist (Matthew Goode, Stoker) who transfers his consciousness to a younger, healthier body (Ryan Reynolds). However, this method of immortality bears heavy consequences when the origin of this new body comes to light. Helmed by Tarsem Singh, director of 2011’s The Immortals (go figure).
