Watch: CRIMINAL Trailer Features Ryan Reynolds in Yet Another Body Swap Movie
Is Ryan Reynolds having an identity crisis?
Last year, he starred in Self/Less, in which Ben Kingsley implants his memories into Reynolds' younger body. Now Reynolds is in a new movie called Criminal, a film in which he puts his memories into Kevin Costner's body. And both of these come after the 2011 film The Change-Up, in which he switches bodies with Jason Bateman after the two of them pee into the same magic fountain.
In any case, here's the Criminal trailer, which features Costner as some sort of badass operative and has a pretty stacked cast that includes Tommy Lee Jones, Gal Gadot, Alice Eve, Michael Pitt, and Gary Oldman. Still, I can't quite shake the fact that this looks like a direct-to-video action movie. Criminal hits theaters on April 15th.
The story of the right man in the wrong body. In a last-ditch effort to stop a diabolical plot, a dead CIA operative’s memories, secrets, and skills are implanted into an unpredictable and dangerous death-row inmate in hopes the he will complete the operative’s mission.
