Based on a 2001 novel by Alan Glynn 'The Dark Fields', the ending of which Leslie Dixon has changed to become more of a crowd-pleaser. It's all about the powerful effects of a designer drug which opens up the untapped 80% of your mind, and is therefore most fun when Bradley Cooper is in Sherlock Holmes mode or where he's speaking foreign languages to restaurant staff. There's some quite funky CGI stuff and a reasonably high interest value, but it's all a bit shallow and uninventive.
With BC are Robert de Niro, Abbie Cornish, Andrew Howard, Anna Friel, Johnny Whitworth. Belgian Jo Willems shot it in Panavision (he also did the Hunger Games films).
