With every synapse... Aspiring author Eddie Morra (Cooper) is suffering from chronic writer's block, but his life changes instantly when an old friend introduces him to NZT, a revolutionary new pharmaceutical that allows him to tap his full potential. With every synapse crackling, Eddie can recall everything he has ever read, seen or heard, learn any language in a day, comprehend complex equations and beguile anyone he meets97as long as he keeps taking the untested drug. Soon Eddie takes Wall Street by storm, parlaying a small stake into millions. His accomplishments catch the eye of mega-mogul Carl Van Loon (De Niro),who invites him to help broker the largest merger in corporate history. But they also bring Eddie to the attention of people willing to do anything to get their hands on his stash of NZT. With his life in jeopardy and the drug's brutal side effects grinding him down, Eddie dodges mysterious stalkers, a vicious gangster and an intense police investigation as he attempts to hang on to his dwindling supply long enough to outwit his enemies.
Likes : This was ok i like the fact it show that we do in fact use 20% of our brain it good it show just how much smarter you can be if we use the full mount of are brain but it dose come with it side effect, i like Bradley Cooper who played eddie hes peformance in this film it was good, but what did they do to Anna Friel who played Melissa my god they made a beautiful girl like her look seriously rough that wasnt good, Robert De Niro playing Carl Van Loon has to be one of the best actors ive seen.
Dislikes : the film was two slow, you could understand what was going on but seriously could of be a little faster
Overall : For a thriller this film was bad had its moment but it was a little slow to start off but it was like that all the way through ,i dont think it everyone cup of tea but its a worth watching film if your in to thrillers.
Rating : 3 out of 5 stars for entertainment, overall 5 out of 10 due to it being to slow.
