Any movie that takes two viewing sessions for me to watch is not a good one in my book. I got so bored with the this movie I only made it forty-five minutes in before I turned it off and just went to bed. But the next day I was like no, give it a chance, and so I finished the film. The second half was definitely better than the first half, but the whole self-narration aspect kind of drove me crazy.
Interesting concept, with a pill that allows you to access the full power of your brain, best illustrated when used to try and escape bad guys, but overall did not live up to its potential. Bradley Cooper's pretty face but lack of acting skills may be the reason... no, no, it was the self-narration that killed it for me.
I cannot imagine life without movies, but am in no way what one might typically think of as a film student. I admit to watching and often enjoying foreign films, but to be perfectly frank I love nothing more than your down n’ dirty cheesy Hollywood action flick. Generally I watch all sorts of films so have a recommendation for almost anyone; except horror (no point with my eyes shut) or anything depressingly sad (film is for fun, not tears). This is raw “real me to real you” film feedback.
