***Spoilers Below*** The reason for the title is that there was no end to the ways that this movie could have been better. I enjoyed it. However, I expected much, much more. Anyone as smart as Morra was supposed to be in this movie would have made more NZT right away. Moreover, he would have never been duped into leaving the NZT with his lawyer. Also, I wasn't on NZT but knew as soon as they talked about Hank Atwood's "meteoric rise" and how "frail" he looks, that he was. Why didn't Morra?
I also thought that there would be more De Niro and fewer meaningless clips of his blackouts. This entire subplot lent nothing to the story and were easily cured by "getting sleep and remembering to eat." Also he talks about an increased dose. The drug was explained as allowing you to access 100% of your brain. Do two pills allow you to access 200% of your brain? Makes no sense to me.
Good movie. Could have been great.
