Great movie with a questionable message

Rating: 7/10 (30 October 2012)

The main character is a loser-type writer who is struggling not just with a writer's block. He is basically struggling with anything in life. One day he meets an old acquaintance who offers him an apparently legal drug that expands your mental capacities. It works perfectly. The only problem: it is highly addictive. Our loser-type writer now embarks on a completely new life as a successful doing-everything. Unfortunately he soon comes in conflict with law and the lawless.
It's a great movie, which I highly recommend and offers a couple of interesting, maybe even new, shots and ideas.
SPOILER! The end does not follow classical dramatic teaching. Which is very nice and refreshing on one hand. It remains depressing on the other. Because what this movie tells us is, drugs are okay. You just need to obey and calculate their drawbacks. This is a message I do find disturbing.
