Apart from Inception, this must be one of the most creative flicks lately. In my opinion, this film is worth at least one Oscar award. From a crazy yet convincing plot to the outstanding cinematography to the edgy music and a witty screenplay, this movie entertains and intrigues you. You'll walk out of the cinema saying there's a reason why you still want to see movies when they first come out because of such brilliant productions.
If you don't like Bradley Cooper, you shouldn't go see this movie because he's in almost every single scene. But who doesn't like Cooper in this day and age? He's a boy next door with deep, piercing blue eyes and a 6'1" physique plus he's one of the genius producers of this film as well. He's funny, charming, natural and would not even let Robert de Niro steal the show. I'm sure no woman fan of his was disappointed when he finally broke up with Renee Zellweger. Rumour has it that he's dating his co-star in this movie - Australian actor Abbie Cornish who looks like a young Sharon Stone.
What constitutes a great thriller? An ingenious plot with unexpected twists; and an impossible but convincing story line that stretches your imagination. This thriller keeps you sitting on the edge of your seat, but even better, it makes you laugh as well. What dream drug can make you suddenly speak every single foreign language (although his Chinese is hardly comprehensible) and fight like Bruce Lee? I'll gladly be addicted to NZT!
Two thumbs up for this movie even though I was not familiar with the director Neil Burger, a Yale fine arts graduate, who directed The Illusionists as well.
