If you like the movie, please take a look at my review...

Rating: 2/10 (20 April 2015)

Stupid movie.
Moral: No matter how amazing your brain is, always think one-dimensionally and don't account other people.
For a guy whose brain capacity allows him to write best-selling novels overnight and make millions from the stock market in a matter of days, I surely don't remember him applying his enhanced mental capabilities to curing diseases or solving political conflicts etc. anytime in the movie.
He's not a good guy, he doesn't do anything without the help of the drug. Hell, he even endangers his girlfriend's life when he sends her to get his drugs (that he hid in her own house). What an asshole!
Van Loom, his boss is insanely stupid. He learns about the drug and even buys the manufacturers of the substance so why doesn't he use it himself? He manufactures it now and says he has limitless supply so he shouldn't be concerned about running out and ending dead (even thought we learn he'll die in a couple of months so it's kinda pointless). And even if he just doesn't like the idea of being on drugs, can't he just take the drug once and find a way to become super smart without it? (JUST LIKE THE PROTAGONIST)
The protagonist's brother-in-law, who gave the drug to our protagonist to begin with also proves this point. I'm curious - how did this guy ever die? When Edward finds his dead in his apartment, with his body riddled with bullets, he also finds a bag full of this powerful drug hidden in the oven. Couldn't he have just taken one pill and, like, come up with a thousand ways to avoid getting killed?
Apparently it doesn't matter if you're a criminal or really poor. If you get really smart, you can always end up a millionaire.
So Edward finds a way to keep his super smart brain without having to take the drug anymore? Huh, funny how none of the of the other dozens of people who used this drug couldn't come up with the same simple convenient solution and ended up dying instead...
