Entertaining, but.... where's the point?

Rating: Null/10 (15 November 2011)

I liked this movie in the concept, and that Robert De Niro is in it, but, i really was expecting something more, substantial, i just wished, that it wasn't the typical history, where everything turns out PERFECT for the protagonist.
Yes, like we all know there's a pill, a genius pill, there's a guy, and there's a whole 2 hour story written all around that 2 things. But, for me, there was no point, everything turns out amazing, perfect, for the main character, everything, although he makes every single bad thing possible, everything turns out amazing, like i supposed.
Yes there is action, Bradley Cooper delivers, and well he has the weight of the whole movie over his shoulders, but, he manages to give a really good and believable performance... but that's not the point for me, there are too many chasing, too many problems, and at the end, it's just like... DUH, OBVIOUSLY.
But well, some of you may like it, it's well made, a decent Sunday movie, but... i just was expecting... well... not the obvious, and that was exactly what i got.
