An action-thriller about a writer who takes an experimental drug that allows him to use 100 percent of his mind. As one man evolves into the perfect version of himself, forces more corrupt than he can imagine mark him for assassination. Out-of-work writer Eddie Morra's rejection by girlfriend Lindy confirms his belief that he has zero future. That all vanishes the day an old friend introduces Eddie to MDT, a designer pharmaceutical that makes him laser focused and more confident than any man alive. Now on an MDT-fueled odyssey, everything Eddie's read, heard or seen is instantly organized and available to him. As the former nobody rises to the top of the financial world, he draws the attention of business mogul Carl Van Loon, who sees this enhanced version of Eddie as the tool to make billions. But brutal side effects jeopardize his meteoric ascent. With a dwindling stash and hit men who will eliminate him to get the MDT, Eddie must stay wired long enough to elude capture and fulfill his destiny. If he can't, he will become just another victim who thought he'd found invincibility in a bottle.

After tussling with Rango, Battle: Los Angeles, The Lincoln Lawyer and Paul, it led the pack ? but only just, earning itself $19m in ticket stubs.
Rango settled for second with $15m, critically drubbed alien invasion film Battle: LA stalled in third ($14.6m), Lincoln Lawyer opened in fourth ($13.4m) and Paul rounded out the top five with $13m.
The rest of the top ten saw less impressive returns, with Red Riding Hood sulking in sixth with just $7.2m, The Adjustment Bureau slacking in seventh ($5.9m) and Mars Needs Moms clinging on for dear life in eighth ($5.3m).
Beastly continued its disappointing run in ninth place ($3.2m), as did the moderately well-reviewed Hall Pass in tenth with just $3.6m. Source: www.totalfilm.com
