Highly compressed movie

Rating: 6/10 (30 June 2011)

i recently watched source code, limitless, and unknown which i will make a review for each of them. all these movies have something in common i feel the directors try to rush they don't take enough time to explain the complicated concepts and events in which is crucial to understand the movies, they also do not shed enough light on key role characters, in addition the dialog is often vague in which the viewer is not clear on whats happening, in a nutshell the storytelling in all three movies is plain CRAPPY (Unknown not so much), i cant help but feel that most directors are attempting to imitate Christopher Nolan style which i despise (making fairly complicating ideas into hugely complicated through his very bad direction and storytelling and even dialog. in limitless and source code specifically very little information is provided keeping the viewer thinking in order to fill the illogical gaping holes in the technicality of the story and the complicated events revolving around the main character leaving the viewer thinking logically of what or why just happened instead of just enjoying the moment. and this what i don't recognize in older movies i don't feel the movie is an outline or a summary of another longer version, and i don't feel the compression of the development of incidences during the movie.
---Limitless--- First half of the movie i enjoyed a lot the pace was perfect not too fast or too slow, but the the second half, many incidents just happened that just wasn't made clear or shed light upon enough, Why did the man in tan coat chase him after he realized he was calling him? this part is not explained, and like when Brandt the lawyer (how should i know he took the pills too) stole the pills from Atwood who was dying and when (after i replayed this part half a dozen times) the man in tan coat killed Brandt for stealing from his boss then Eddie took the pills. and when retrieved the pills from his girlfriend's place how the hell did he lose them again? these parts are compressed in a crazy way it makes u hate the movie, these are just a few of many, but the movie was a new idea and i enjoyed most of it although some parts make u yell "oh common!" like when Eddie dropped the last pill in the drain or when he couldn't even hide this one pill from the Russian guy, these parts are just stupid. the movie could have easily be 2 hrs but it seems Hollywood only makes movies that doesn't exceed 1:40. this seems to be a common trait which is very annoying.
