I don't buy it

Rating: 3/10 (4 June 2011)

Well, the movie is cool and I liked the action, but what's the moral? We've got your ordinary guy, like most of us, not untalented, but having your average guy problems: no progress at work, girlfriend wants to leave, etc. By chance, he meets someone, who suggests he tries new pills that make his brain work better. It's sort of a high-tech medicine, but basically it's a drug: you feel great while you take it, but you get withdrawal pains if you stop. So, the moral: the drugs are bad, but you are stronger. You can kill two birds with one stone: get your brain working 100%, extend your mind, get to the next conscience level, whatever, and pay nothing for that. It's like trying to cheat the devil: most of people lose, but you are special, you will win. I don't buy it: 3/10.
