The cast in this are great. You can never fault Jamie Foxx or Joseph Gordon Levitt, and you definitely can’t in this. Dominique Fishback puts in a great turn too and even Rodrigo Santoro hams it up the best he can with the material he has to work with. And that’s the problem with this film, the material, plot and execution are not very good and letdown everything else. The idea behind this film, a pill that gives you superpowers is genius, and something we haven’t seen before in the superhero genre. The way they subtly show physical changes in the characters who have taken the pills on multiple occasions is very well done and the general concept and science behind the pills is pretty believable. Even the CGI is pretty well done and the reveal of Jamie Foxx’s character’s powers towards the end of the film is quite a spectacle. It’s just a massive shame that the plot itself is rather plodding and lacklustre and it’d be completely uninteresting if it wasn’t for the action and superpowers.
Overall this was a decent entertaining sci-fi and not a bad watch, it just could’ve been so much better.

This is a gripping and thrilling first instalment that ends on an amazing cliffhanger! Full of mystery and action, you are left with questions unanswered. I won't put the questions out here, you'll need to read the book for yourself, but I will say that you will immediately want to know more. Excellent start and definitely recommended.

I bought this book when the author gave a talk at my local library a few months back. I’m glad I did. As always, I enjoyed the Hollywood setting, but I especially enjoyed the scenes that took Nate to the area I live. Granted, it has changed a lot since the time when the book was set. The story itself is strong with plenty of action to keep us engaged. I had a few things figured out, but I missed some other clues that Nate used to solve things. The characters are engaging, as well. This has the feel of a classic PI novel, so it has a bit more content than I would typically read. It also means that Nate’s sense of humor made me laugh as I was reading. Fortunately, I already have the sequel since I’m looking forward to visiting Nate again soon.
