Eddie Morra
is an unsuccessful writer who suffers from never-ending misfortunes. One day,
he meets a drug dealer who sells him a top-secret drug which bestows him with
super human abilities. And he is soon to find out that “with the power comes
great responsibility”…
This movie
made a buzz in 2011 when it launched provocative and smart advertising
campaign, which featured a guy hacking into the screens on the Time Square in
New York. That was brilliant move, fresh and interesting, and it is probably
the only thing which is good about this movie.
It should
have been called Brainless. Yes, to hope that this movie would be smart and
brainpower-demanding would have been completely unreasonable. After all, from
the first frames of the trailer you could guess that this is yet another pop-corn
action about difficult life of people with superpowers. However, even these low
expectations did not save me from brutal truth: you have to turn your brains
off to watch this movie.
