The life of an unsuccessful writer is transformed by a top-secret 'smart drug' that allows him to use 100% of his brain and become a perfect version of himself. His enhanced abilities soon attract shadowy forces that threaten his new life.
- Jonathan KillebrewDecember 29, 2025I had only seen this movie once before when it first came out. It's a really neat concept but overall it does take a bit to get into. The acting was not bad but certain scenes were just kind of hard to follow. The movie definitely picks up towards the middle and end but ends on quite a note. It's definitely worth a rewatch or a first watch if you've never seen it but get ready for a wild ride.
