I actually really enjoyed this film, had everything pretty much what you wanted a sexy guy in lead, adventure, danger and tension. I am a massive Bradley Cooper fan, especially in 'The Hangover'.
It's a fast moving film, but it worked well, you got a real insight into the characters life and how he felt and saw things.
so basically it's about this guy who feels like he's loosing everything, he has a girlfriend who dumps him and no job. He catches up with an old friend from college and he gives him this see-through pill that he's 'testing' in these labs, supposedly legitimate (but it's not). So he takes this pill as he thinks nothing can get much worse, and it isn't for a while. He first takes it and it's amazing, he's intelligent, feels good, has energy and suddenly he feels like he's someone. He beats the stock shares and makes something of himself, but no-one knows he's taken the drug. It all goes well, his girlfriend wants him back, he gets a great job, a nice new pad and the world is perfect - whilst he takes the drug. It starts going wrong when it's known that his friend has been doing trials that weren't legitimate so, he finds that people are dying from it and that he's getting sick because of it, but there's lots of betrayal in the fact that the guy who gave him this big job knew all along that he was taking the drug, and he was trying to blackmail him by wanting to make more of these drugs but Bradley's character, was already a step ahead. As one of the side affects was that he's ahead in life, (the way the drug works) and also he skipped time and well, forgot what he has done because it makes him work so fast, that he actually gets accused of murdering a prostitute...
I definitely recommend! It's also a film you could watch again as there are signs you probably missed as you're so focused on the characters. I really enjoyed it, and would say it's in my top 20 films.
