Would you like to be "Limitless"?


This movie I am going to say caught me somewhat off guard. I was expecting to see a movie about some superhero that takes a pill and he was invincible. To some extent that is true, but it seemed have other messages tied in. The is about a writer named Edie (Bradley Cooper and Bryan won't be disappointed by his hotness), whose life seems to be going down the drain. His girlfriend just left him, and he was at a standstill writing his book. He was approached by his ex-brother in law who offered him some new FDA approved drug that will allow one to use all their brain's capacity. I thought this was too good to be true, and sure enough it was. Bradley Cooper took the drug and he was instantly a genius and quickly his life was in overdrive. However, after taking the drug there was some serious side effects(so not FDA approved it seems). This was threw me for a loop. A major chunk of the movie, seemed like we were watching some drug addict fighting the withdrawals. A message to all the drug addicts and to some extent Call of Duty junkies. I won't say anymore to not give away any spoilers but, overall I thought the plot was original and interesting. There didn't seem to be dull moment in the movie. The acting was excellent and when the movie was over I felt I got my money's worth. I think it deserves an 8 out of 10.
