Limitless just came out in theatres, an I must say, was entertaining and captivating throughout. Bradley Cooper plays a charismatic Eddie Morra, a disillusioned writer whose life is on the fringes, until he meets an old connection and is introduced to a drug. Known as NZT, it is said to unlock all the potential of the brain. Needless to say, this changes Eddies life, for the better and worse.
The idea of such a drug, one that would enhance our brains, is a large and fascinating topic. It is very open to possibilities, and in a sense, Limitless does not cover it all. But then again, it'd be impossible to. There's also the complaint that such a drug wouldn't make sense, but of course not. This is a work of fiction, and if one nitpicks at unrealistic ideas, then this is not the movie for them. But there are other flaws, including little fleshed out supporting characters, and a couple plot points that just seem to vanish.
The things that made this movie so captivating were the cinematography, charismatic performance and narration by Bradley Cooper. The constant action makes it a good thriller. Everyone wants to be able to unlock their hidden potential, and Limitless makes a pretty good movie out of it.
