Didn't try to be too clever

Rating: Null/10 (11 August 2011)

I really enjoyed this movie. The mind altering drug that the film revolves around is very intriguing.
A lot of the time with movies about drugs the story become disorientating and tedious with lots of incoherent, psychedelic set-pieces that distract from the story. The methods deployed here to demonstrate the affects of the drug are both subtle and effective and aid in the story telling.
The lead is excellent and highly likable. Story is strong and a little unpredictable as it doesn't try to be too out-there or create twists for the sake of it. Acting, production etc are all top notch.
