In a world, where you can pay a mere $250 million to transform your crusty, sick, old body into an all new model. That looks like Ryan Reynolds!! Lets face it, if you had the means and would keep your consciousness, tell me Dwayne Johnson, Jason Statham, Ryan Reynolds wouldn't be on the list. Pretty good sci-fi flick that was a little underrated. Kingsley plays a billionaire real-estate guru who is riddled with cancer. He enters into a secret medical contract to transfer his mind to a young mans body that was apparently made in a lab. He has some serious fun, and then realizes that shit aint all what it seems. There are some really cool characters in this movie and although not much suspense due to the predictability, it was very enjoyable. I had a hard time taking the moral route with this one thinking, "damn, I just spent millions and look like a super model. I am going to continue to rock out for a long time!" In his younger body, he finds there is some mystery to his now flesh and feels he just has to figure it out. Bring on the goons! The company doesn't want him messing things up so they go after him. Cool clothes, cars, and party scenes but not the dialogue I expect from Reynolds and wish there were more with his new life. Good backstory and some good action, it just fell a tad bit short. Enjoyable and a recommendation for all.
FYI: The old mans ugly ass apartment in the beginning is an actual pad owned by Donald Trump. Go figure.
