Limitless (2011) Movie Review
As one of the latest movie releases this month, Limitless should be something which is truly limitless for the audiences to feel great to watch movies since summer time will come soon and greater movies will probably also flood the box office. But somehow, this movie produced by Relativity Media film production company makes some limit about what it is to be smart.
Generally, the story is about a writer who cannot still write anything (no talent, obviously), lives horribly in a small dirty apartment, so messed up that it seems like he never combs his own hair. Simply, all of those depictions of a character (except the first one above) are usually used to show the features of a smart person who does not care about anything but reading books. But here in Limitless, they are used to depict someone who looks so useless and so limited that it seems that he cannot do anything.
Then this useless and limited man, named Eddie Morra (Bradley Cooper) meets a friend who then gives him an amazing pill which can drive him beyond his own capacity. Previously, reluctant, he eventually drinks the pill and feel himself limitless. He can feel his brain works at its most capacity: he can finish his book so fast, he can understand complex math and takes it for granted, and he can learn any language that he wants. Simply, he suddenly has every thing in the world that people will die for. Awkwardly, and seriously here, he also becomes richer and gets some luxurious stuffs of his own.
