{4\/5} “I don’t have delusions of grandeur, I have an actual recipe for grandeur.”<\/p>\n
Eddie has a book contract but he’s having trouble with the actual writing. His girlfriend has just dumped him, so he’s going to need to make some money. A chance encounter with his\u00a0ex-brother-in-law leads him to try a new drug that isn’t on the market yet. This drug gives him access to all of his brain — which leads him to clean his house and start writing. The next day he’s back to normal, so he goes looking for more of the drug.<\/p>\n
Limitless<\/strong> was released in 2011.<\/p>\n If you were really, really smart — smarter than anyone else — what would you do with your life?<\/p>\n It’s a fascinating premise, and an exciting story. There’s a fairly violent part near the end.<\/p>\n Bradley Cooper is convincing both as a slacker who sits around doing anything but writing and a hyper-vigorous man who knows everything about everything.<\/p>\n There are some flaws — like a lot of movies, it doesn’t want you to think about it too much.<\/p>\n The movie uses interesting visual techniques to show Eddie’s side effects when he’s on the drug.<\/p>\n
