I am always surprised to see Ben Kingsley in a small role - after all, he was Gandhi. But here he is again, as Damian, an extremely wealthy man who is suffering from terminal cancer. He finds a business card directing him to Professor Albright (Matthew Goode), who performs a medical procedure called "shedding", in which one's consciousness is transferred to young, healthy body that has been engineered. He decides to do it.
After the procedure, he is given pills he needs to take daily. Now Young Damien, he changes his name, moves to New Orleans and has the fun of a young single guy for a time. He becomes friends with his neighbor, Anton.
He forgets to take his medicine one day and begins to see visions, but Albright tells him it's part of the "shedding" process. Not convinced, he goes searching for a landmark he saw in his visions. He discovers that Albright hasn't told him everything.
Exciting and ultimately sweet film with some good acting from Ryan Reynolds, Natalie Martinez, Victor Garber, and one of my favorites, Matthew Goode.
Yes, there was a lot of action but I didn't think of it as an action film. I enjoyed it.
