Liked it, but it could've been better

Rating: 6/10 (4 January 2012)

This film had a really cool premise, great actors, some interesting action scenes, but when it was over, I felt like it could have been a little stronger. The premise is that a man gets a drug that allows him to take full control of his brain, since we only use about 20% of our brain's actual power. So he basically knows everything, he can also go back into his mind and remember anything that happened to him in the past. The acting is great, Bradley Cooper, Robert De Niro, Abbie Cornish were all good. The action was entertaining and the visuals were minimal but very well handled. However, since it has such great things about it, the film just didn't have the punch that I was expecting. I was hoping for something mindblowing and what I got was a good movie, that stopped short of being great. I can't explain it, there's really nothing bad in it, I was just hoping for more.
6.5/10
