Surprisingly effective the 'side effects'

A fine thriller, I thought I knew the twist before it reveal but I failed though it was a simple one. They utilised concept very well, about the side effects of the pills. In most of the scenes some logics were missing, still people have somehow knowledge about how it all works. But you know in movies, a doctor can do lawyer works, a lawyer can do engineering work and an engineer can do the doctor work. All are fair and square.

Wow, Rooney Mara looked so cute in the movie, is it only me or for everybody as well!. There's not much to praise Channing Tatum. The usual, fine performance by Jude Law but Catherine Zeta-Jones' character surprisingly took the story towards her side in the 2nd half of the movie. Yes the second half was much better than the first due to puzzling the characters, the falling and rising of the characters.

The movie had a sufficient suspense to hold the audience to keep interested. Like most of the mystery theme, the twist breaks out at great timing and in a style. It was not a masterpiece but will be one of those well made crime-thriller with backdrop of medical related. A watch will be good enough.

8/10
