gratuitous blood spatter everywhere

Rating: 1/10 (21 February 2015)

I saw this movie in a hotel room and could hardly stay awake. It is monotonous and hardly dramatic. Nor does it have any comic relief--which would have been very welcome. The stock footage smacks of "acid" scenes from the 70's. Scarjo's acting was good but she gets too smart too fast. Seems to me that having so much brain boosting power coursing through her brain she'd simply flame out. Thank goodness for good old Morgan whose narration saves this terribly boring film. Scarjo seldom speaks with any clarity. Clearly if one wants to explore the human brain's capacity in a scientific way the Chinese mob should not be brought into the laboratory. Perhaps chimps needed to be treated to the blue goo of cells before testing humans. Come on writers, write! Do the research that actually could be related to real science.
