There’s a really intriguing sci-fi premise at the center of the completely disposable new sci-fi flick ‘Self/less’. The problem is that it’s pretty much the exact premise of John Frankenheimer’s 1966 masterpiece ‘Seconds‘. That movie delivers fully on its central concept to deliver one of the most disturbingly dark sci-fi fantasies in Hollywood history. ‘Self/less’,...
