Narrated film

Rating: 5/10 (23 March 2011)

This is one of those films that if it wasn't narrated it wouldn't make much sense. Almost everything is explained with voice-over. It becomes very annoying...why is Bradley Cooper's character talking to us...there was no set-up for this. In old movies, the character at least is shown to be in a police station at the beginning of a film and we see him telling a story to the cops.
Despite the narration, the film is mildly interesting with it's premise of a drug that makes one super-aware. The picture moves along at a quick pace until 3/4 the way through, where lots of loose ends are tied up a little too neatly and a little too conveniently.
