Reynolds's failure to display the faintest trace (verbal, physical) of Kingsley's character negates any potential mind/ body tension. Self/less? Point/less!

| Original Score: 2/5 | Jul 19, 2015

Tragically, the film itself is as dumb as a doorknob.

| Original Score: 2/5 | Jul 17, 2015

Tarsem Singh's sleekly shot sci-fi thriller begins intriguingly but loses its identity.

| Original Score: 2/5 | Jul 16, 2015

Anonymously slick and rarely betraying a sense of humour, Self/less might not mind a discreet facelift, but it much more urgently needs a personality transplant.

| Original Score: 2/5 | Jul 16, 2015

Entertaining nonsense, but barely skimming the surface of a great idea.

| Original Score: 2/5 | Jul 16, 2015

There's a Twilight Zone premise - though sadly no Twilight Zone brevity or script discipline - to this sci-fi thriller.

| Original Score: 2/5 | Jul 16, 2015

The questions that Tarsem keeps posing in between obligatory action sequences are at least as interesting and thought-provoking as anything else in this film, The Game, or Seconds.

| Jul 14, 2015

A sci-fi thriller so derivative of John Frankenheimer's masterfully paranoid Seconds it would be more accurate to call it Thirds, Tarsem Singh's Self/less is a generic waste of a clever idea.

| Original Score: 2/5 | Jul 13, 2015

Tarsem Singh has a reputation for making movies that are visually stunning but woefully inert and convoluted in their storytelling (see The Cell and The Fall). Singh's most recent film, Self/less, lives up to at least half of that reputation.

| Original Score: 1.5/4 | Jul 13, 2015

What starts out as an interesting exploration of identity soon gives way to the uninspired, generic action flick we had feared it always was.

| Jul 12, 2015

Deep under the skin of this shrug of a movie is a solid metaphor rooted in an appealing fantasy.

| Jul 12, 2015

There's no reason to spoil what follows except to say that even by the standards of both Alfred Hitchcock and science fiction, it's nonsensical.

| Jul 10, 2015

Self/less is so restrained that I wonder if somebody stole Tarsem Singh's body, too.

| Original Score: C | Jul 9, 2015

Singh is big on visuals but not much on storylines ...But there are some provocative concepts about life, death, memory, identity, and, well, karma.

| Original Score: B | Jul 9, 2015

The elaborately convoluted, soul-swapping thriller "Self/less" squanders its intriguing premise with a loud and labored beat-the-bad-guys trajectory.

| Jul 9, 2015

All of it unfolds in the atmosphere of gaudy, portentous vacuity that is Mr. Singh's trademark.

| Jul 9, 2015

Any hope Reynolds had of reviving his stardom with Self/less is as fruitless as thinking a person can swap bodies without consequence.

| Original Score: 2/4 | Jul 9, 2015

Singh once seemed an original, but Self/less doesn't have a distinctive bone in either of its bodies.

| Jul 9, 2015

You'd think a movie about transplanting human consciousness would be smarter than this.

| Original Score: 2/4 | Jul 9, 2015

Tarsem Singh, who directed the eye-catching The Fall and Immortals, brings a comparable level of visual invention to this tale, though as usual his engagement with the material doesn't go very deep.
