Eddie Morra is close to hitting bottom, an author without a novel. He doesn't pay his rent, everything is a mess, his looks, his apartment, his life. In an instant it all changes, he meets and old friend with a powerful new drug called NZT. The drug makes your brain function at 100%, total recall of every event in your life, learn languages immediately, play the piano and make money. The catch, supply, demand, side effects and can you or will you stop taking the drug? Also, what happens when others both good and bad try to tap into your supply?This is good except it's moving so fast you can't keep track of all the details that probably are loose ends. There is some uncertainty at the end but who cares? Different! 3 1/2* (I liked this movie)
