Blazing Minds (92 KP) rated Hangman (2017) in Movies
Nov 1, 2021 (Updated Nov 3, 2021)
So from the sound of Hangman starring Al Pacino and Karl Urban sounded great when I first read the synopsis for the movie, a decorated homicide detective Ray Archer (Al Pacino) partners with criminal profiler Will Ruiney (Karl Urban) to catch one of the city’s notoriously vicious serial killers, who is playing a twisted version of murder inspired by the children’s game Hangman. Every 24 hours, a body is hung revealing the next letter carved into the victim’s body.

Such a shame.
Some bits are properly funny, but after a while it becomes stale, found myself reaching for my phone to have something to do.
It's annoying though because the premise is fantastic, it's about being confident in your body, don't care what anyone else thinks. It's just a shame towards the end I'm nearly asleep.

I’ll keep this short.
What if the extremely brilliant minds, could live another 50 years on this earth after their body is about to expire by transporting their mind into a new, younger body…could those minds continue to create amazing legacy? This is the premise for the film Self/less. Ben Kingsley plays Damian, a wealthy business tycoon type who is dying of cancer decides to “shed” his body for a younger healthy body. That body is played by Ryan Reynolds. But when things do not exactly turn out as they appear to be, Damian has a crisis of conscience and has to decide what is right.
That being said, somewhere in this film there is a good story…they just forgot to show us the right chapters. And thus a movie about identity, doesn’t know what it is. Instead of a great nuanced psychological thriller, we get a ho-hummed derivate small action film that is not something terrible to watch, but not something encouraging you to seek it out. In the end, this is really a redbox movie. And that’s a shame

A very good film, story telling at it's best. It's about the life story of a man who is born with an old body and as he grows older his body becomes younger. What I didn't realize before is how much of the story is based on romance between the two main characters. It is a small bit like Forrest Gump but more like The Notebook. It's quite a long film and at times the story wanders in different directions, but overall a very enjoyable film.
