Creative, but expected better

Rating: 7/10 (14 September 2013)

I would like to point out that the idea of the mysterious pill is unique and creative. The movie's plot is revolved around this pill which can be viewed as a good substance to enhance the brain's functioning, while destructing the process of human activity. If it were me, I would have never taken the pill as it would have ruined my conscience. Rather than making him a better person, it turned Eddie Morra to a vicious man (he killed that woman in the hotel).
The making of the film was well-done. There were clearly lots of effort put into editing, picture enhancement and special effects. Also, I loved the acting, in general. Bradley Cooper shows lots of talent, especially in the scene where he finds Vernon dead in his apartment. Even-though it didn't affect the film's general outcome, I expected a more extended, interesting role for Robert De Niro.
Regarding the script, it is well-written, but I think it could have been more appealing with more action and suspense, which would have better attracted the audience.
