Interesting plot centered around a drug that could boost human brain neurons and make any takers superhuman and invincible. Though the scriptwriter portrays the drug to be powerful enough to cause people willing to kill to get their hands on the pills, however, the pills "Wow" effects on human are lacking. All they can come out are some guy churning money off financial market, winning fights against a group of people, escaping pursuits by taking a girl on ice skates and slashing the ice skate blades on the pursuers.
