[6.50/10] Self/less (2015)

Self/less (2015)

Quick Review: Lame ending aside, Singh's latest is way easier to digest than his previous work, because of his less artsy approach and, neater pacing. The scientifically far-fetched premise may be far from unique, but the director manages to execute his ideas ingeniously enough to make "Self/less" feel new, telling a flawed yet enthralling story, complemented by various interesting settings, hazy yet velvety visuals, well-made action stunts, as well as Reynolds' intense performance in the lead.

Yeah, I'm not a fan of the director because of his style. Least this way is more accessible.

Me neither, but I ended up enjoying this one. It's far from ideal, though.
