Billionaire Damian Hale has terminal
cancer. He turns to a radical medical procedure called "shedding," in
which his consciousness is transferred to a healthy body. After the
procedure, Damian, now called Edward, starts a new life in New Orleans
but is plagued by disturbing images. When he delves into Edward's
mysterious origin, he learns that some will kill to keep it secret.
My buddy and I, both long time film buffs of multi-genres yearn for decent sci-fi thrillers that are well written and directed, leave us guessing here and there via plot twists and turns, includes necessary action, murder and mayhem and a credible Mr. Evil. This film delivers 116 minutes of story, acting, production value and pure cinema sci-fi thrilling FUN.
We were both thumbs-up entertained by one of Ryan Reynolds best efforts plus a fine supporting cast including Mr. Evil (Albright). Our usual post film discussion of plot holes was minimal given the original, well crafted screenplay. That is not to say we did not suspend belief as is the case with many of our best action/Sci-Fi films. A major section of the film, with some of its best action sequences, reminded me of my favorite scenes in Bourne Legacy.
With all the above said there was yet room for disturbed, romantic relationships and one cute kid spitting out all her needed lines.
Production value gives us some fun shots of New Orleans, area mansions and a finale 'home' in a spectacular locale.
There have been so many mind invasion/transfer films that our expectations for something original with thrills, excitement and pathos were low. We left the theater smiling for the simple reason that we were both thoroughly entertained.
