What would you do if you suddenly got really smart?

Rating: 7/10 (26 November 2015)

I am pretty sure that you wouldn't do what this guy did. Anyway, it is a fun movie with an interesting premise and they even made a TV series of it, so if you like it, you could carry on having the fun.
The story is about a guy who inadvertently finds a stash of mind enhancing drugs. He climbs up in the world pretty fast, so people notice and try to stop him, naturally. The way they do it and how he handles them is pretty hard to swallow, but then again, if you were really smart you wouldn't use your own person and name to become famous in stock trading. You would just make money, discreetly.
The acting is OK, I would say the Bradley Cooper's acting makes the film more than the subject (or the horrible soundtrack). The script needed an overhaul, though, so don't expect something terribly smart (see what I did there?) At least it's not Lucy.
