Stars: Bradley Cooper, Abbie Cornish, Robert De Niro
A bit of a stretch in the premise of the story, but hey, with drugs these days, anything's possible. With such 100% brain power, I wouldn't have gone in the direction of that legalized ponzi scheme called the stock market or the pit of corruption called the politics, but that's where the writers decided this super-braniac must go. As a movie, it is not half bad. Use of blue and amber hues depending on the alertness of the subject is neat trick, but not original to this movie. Acting was pretty good. My Rating: 7.0
