HAYFLICK LIMIT

Cinemavixion Review

David Shannon's 2017 film, "Hayflick Limit," presents a compelling science fiction premise that delves into the implications of biological immortality. The narrative follows a young woman who discovers her cells possess an indefinite lifespan, a genetic anomaly that makes her a target for government experimentation and a desperate father seeking a cure for his ailing child. While the film's central concept is intriguing, exploring the profound ethical and existential questions surrounding eternal life, its execution, as suggested by a 5.0 IMDb rating, may not fully capitalize on its potential. Clint Hughes and Patricia Isenberg lead the cast, navigating a plot that balances elements of a chase thriller with philosophical inquiry. "Hayflick Limit" is a thought-provoking, albeit perhaps uneven, exploration of humanity's age-old fascination with cheating death.
