Limitless

I love it when filmmakers come up with a cool concept. Like this movie where struggling writer Eddie (Bradley Cooper) comes into contact with a drug that enables his brain to access 100% of its power. Imagine!

As he soon discovers, the possibilities are endless. Within no time he’s trading stock on Wall Street, driving the car of his dreams and being called a genius. The good times don’t last, however, and Eddie is pulled into a shady drug-dealing underworld where people are turning up dead all around him. Oh, and to make things worse, he discovers that the wonder drug ends up killing you. It won’t win any Oscars but it sure is a good night out.

Rating: 4 outta 5.
