Okay, I was pleasantly surprised with this film. The film begins with an average male failing at writing and at life. He speaks with an old friend from his past and he offers him a new drug that will open the mind to work at a 100%. He quickly begins to see the world as an endless place of opportunities. He finished his novel and carries on to control the stock market. However, this drug being so useful has not only a dark side, but a client list.

This film had a rather unique combination that I never thought I'd see in a film: drugs and ambition. The film was directed by Neil Burger, and surprisingly written by Leslie Dixon (considering the other films he's written in the past). Bradley Cooper did a great job portraying this character, Eddie Morra, with heart and mild intelligence. This film also used the various characters to show the drugs potential in different persona's. The drug gets changed often to fit the person's desires. A lot of the plot twists come more from unexpected character turns. This film works a lot with camera movement, and some of the special effects are used to enhance those camera movements. There is also the subtly of change from being on and off the drug. Off the drug, Eddie Morra's eyes, and the world around him is very grey. On the drug everything is bright. There is a lot of sex and plenty of action violence in this film. There is some gore, but only in blood (perhaps I've seen too many horror films).

I give this film a 10 out of 10 stars! I really enjoyed it as a story, and as a film in general. It could be a bit hard to follow when they talk about stocks, but it doesn't hurt the film in any way. This isn't a film for children though.

Answer to last blog: The Thing was featured in Halloween I.
