Se eu tivesse mais tempo para viver a minha vida... todos pensamos nisso e todos o sentimos. Mas e se fosse possível ter esse tempo... por um preço? No thriller psicológico de ficção científica "Outro/Eu", o realizador Tarsem Singh explora as consequências de tirar uma vida para que outra viva para sempre. Com Ryan Reynolds e Ben Kingsley nos principais papéis, o filme conta a história de Damian Hale, um bilionário industrial que, quando lhe é diagnosticado cancro, procura um procedimento médico radical e transfere a sua consciência para o corpo de um homem jovem e saudável. Contudo, a imortalidade tem alguns efeitos colaterais e Damian encontra-se a lutar pela sua vida e a daqueles que impactou. (NOS Lusomundo Audiovisuais)

Loads of traditional Hollywood clichés starting with plot twists and ending with family values. But Singh's direction is brisk throughout (he's even got a sensible script) and the action is unexpectedly dynamic. Ryan Reynolds in another role where he puts clouds of energy. If Bay hadn't made a visual magnum opus on similar themes a few years ago, this might have been better, as it is, Self/Less looks like the little brother.

Um grande «pequeno» thriller de primavera (Sem Limites, O Código Base), implantado infelizmente na estação do verão. Grande ideia, reviravoltas surpreendentes, dose tolerável de clichés de género e sentimentalismo. O argumento por vezes simplifica apressadamente o impacto das reviravoltas nas reações das personagens, mas fá-lo de modo a manter uma dinâmica narrativa rápida que é perfeita. As cenas de ação são inesperadamente suspensivas e ferozes. Finalmente, uma exploração eficaz da direção exótica do Singh em mainstream. Um dos melhores papéis de Reynolds.

A very generic film with cheap visuals, slower pace, uninteresting action, boring actors, a great idea, but not fully exploited, and few nice twists and turns were nice, but had I seen it in the cinema, the rating would be lower. A weak thriller. 50%

Ben Kingsley is dead, long live Ryan Reynolds is definitely not happening. This mediocre exercise in transhumanism has a pleasing visual style, but it does little to open up the cerebral threads.

So, after Immortals and Mirror Mirror, Tarsem Singh made things right again with me. Self/less is a great film that combined sci-fi, drama and action in the way that Steven Spielberg's Minority Report did. Quite naturally. It looks great, and I (unlike The Fall) almost did not realize that it takes two hours, and the actors and actresses were a joy to watch. The finale similar to The Old Gun made me happy, and I don't consider it as theft, but rather as an accurate and equally impressive quote.

Hollywood's god of composition, Tarsem Singh, after earlier narrow escapes has been given the task of proving that he can make a standard underfunded sci-fi thriller that will show the big studios his subtlety and get him money for a big project, or a script for a comic book or something. You absolutely can't decipher his handwriting in this one, but the direction is the only thing that keeps this joke afloat. In the first half you can see it a lot in the dialogue scenes, which are stagy in a Singh way, cramming as much information as possible into one shot, but later on his eye only slips into a few sequences (btw can someone explain to me why they set the car on fire?). But where the whole film completely runs out of breath is with the script, which after the first reveal tiredly dissolves into a series of terribly boring monothematic dialogues and sad looks that don't manage much closure and are the only thing that moves the story forward. And that's bad.

Well, this was a pretty big disappointment. From Tarsem Singh, I expected at least an intriguing visual spectacle, but I didn't even fully get that. There are scenes here and there that catch your eye visually, but there are too few of them. Unfortunately, this sci-fi is so transparent that essentially after half an hour, you'll already know how it all ends. And the film is two hours long...
