Self/Less (Tarsem Singh, 2015)

Dying property mogul Ben Kingsley has his consciousness transplanted into a freshly-grown young body, except of course this is playing at being God and so complications are sure to follow. For the remainder, we're following Ryan Reynolds as the host trying to resolve the unholy mess created. What starts as a fairly fresh premise, not wholly derived from anything existing, dissolves very quickly into a standard actioner complete with car chases, with the occasional weepy interlude to assure us that we're dealing with an issue of philosophical substance to do with memory, feelings, identity and all that deep stuff.
