I am easily distracted, so the concept was immediately appealing. It would be thrilling to take a pretty little pill and suddenly be clear headed and focused.

It would have been interesting to see the character use his newly acquired mental gift for something other than making a lot of money quickly. That concept is so overdone in Hollywood movies. Anyway, with the NZT he obviously had enough aptitude to turn any amount of cash into a fortune without having to turn to the Russian thug for a loan of $100,000. Having made that foolish move, would he really forget to pay him back?

I guess the violence was a calculated move to satisfy those who wouldn't consider seeing a movie without it.

It was fun to see a movie set in San Francisco with places I've been to in the background. Most of the time I forgot I was watching actors in a movie. When that happens I know I'm watching a good show with solid acting and direction. I felt anxiety, fear, and foreboding during much of the movie and that was authentic too. I've been in the Mission lots of times but I'm not Hispanic, didn't grow up there, and usually feel some degree of anxiety and sense of danger when I am there.

The thunder during Che's cathartic moment seemed a bit phony since that only happens once in a great while in San Francisco and all of the Bay Area.

I was wondering how Che was going to fuel his Biodiesel '64 Chevy during the trip to LA. Maybe it could run on regular diesel fuel?

I saw it on DVD and was disappointed that the only special feature was the music soundtrack. I would love to see interviews and some behind the scenes footage.
