I was expecting more out of the movie. It goes from here to there and then somewhere else. It is hard to figure out what is gonna come next.You are always in between to decide if the guy has a mental problem or it is caused by the drugs. But this movie worth watching. I enjoyed it.It starts as a it is a conspiracy about a new drug testing. Then introduced some urban legends in to it. It gets interesting to watch.Especially the scenes in San Francisco are the ones I liked the most.The ending scene also takes place there, which I totally agree with the idea meant in the movie... "San Francisco is Heaven"

Chemicals we ingest(on food,in food,as medication,as entertainment, etc.)harm our bodies! The poor guy tries a new prescription for his medical condition, goes into a coma, experiences weird hallucinations,and finally expires. Note that the doctor implied that the company that made the drug would want to hear/read the autopsy findings to see what went wrong.If this movie doesn't convince you to throw out unnecessary drugs,cleaning products,room deodorizers, and other chemicals that are harmful to humans and the environment, then maybe you need to see it again from an environmentalist's point of view.Goodness, have I turned into a tree-hugger?

This is one of those films that it seems to me needs to be judged for what it is. Namely, a film made on a small budget that punches above its weight. It looks to me like the script could have done with a bit more work, but that said, the acting performances are largely excellent, the direction is good and the subject matter intriguing. Adam, the lead, is excellent - a really good portrayal of a geek who is nevertheless a hapless hero. And the tortures he goes through are great. The San Fran bar scene towards the end of the film hints at real potential. In some senses the ending might be considered predictable, but equally, it's really nice and dark and doesn't let up. Is this all his paranoid ravings or is he actually the victim of a grander corporate experiment? With all the news about drugs companies pushing the limits of the law both in terms of how they market drugs and how they test them, this seems to me a timely reminder of the dark realities of modern consumerism and the thin line between the profit motive and patient welfare. A good little Indy effort and much more refreshing than most Brit flicks currently on offer.

This movie can really be described in one word: senseless. It has no purpose, except to waste your time. I thought the premise sounded like a nice mystery movie, but it turns out to be just pointless. Please, save yourself some time and avoid this movie. The beginning might look like a decent movie, in fact, it looks so most throughout the movie. But it just builds up the tension, to lead up to a very disappointing conclusion that does not resolve anything at all! And that is why I must say that anyone that is interested in a story with a point should avoid this. Some might say that it shocks you nicely, what for? I can't find a reason for the movie at all.
