Review of Self/less

Self/less (2015)
1/10
Tired and Predictable
1 November 2015
Warning: Spoilers
The idea of transferring your consciousness to a new body has massive potential for exploring future ethical and moral implications and how it would effect society and individuals. None of this was explored, instead once the body migration is complete we are taken on a boring narrow predictable Hollywood journey of a typical dude doing everything he can to save his child and wife, car chases, shoot outs, hand to hand fighting. Break for a pathetic scene where he bonds with the child and shows his sensitive side while the wife watches, resolve past life relationships and then make the "self less" sacrifice at the end so everyone is happy despite the young child witnessing multiple acts of violence and death. Someone should actually write a new script one day instead of churning out this tired old Hollywood format.
