Extremely Limited

Rating: 1/10 (10 April 2011)

The premise, a writer takes a drug that unlocks his brain's performance, seems promising. But the script never comes close to the story's potential. The plot is dull at best. Bad guys everywhere. The story's slow pace and limitless repetition are eclipsed only by gratuitous graphic images and scenes. The writing is not only weak, but extremely predictable. The only suspense is the vain hope that the movie will get better. It never does.
I love good stories and great films and quality acting. This film contains none of those elements. Robert De Niro has reached a new low. Such a disappointment. But worse, the screenplay depicts gore and uses language at levels way beyond the PG-13 rating.
The best part of the film is the opening credits. Very cool effects.
In my lifetime I've only walked out on two films. This was the second one. And I shouldn't have wasted as much time as I did.
