What if........
Go and watch this film and you will have many 'what ifs' circling around in your unused brain! LIMITLESS is a sci fi thriller with enough action to keep you interested the whole way through....and if the action and suspense doesn't keep you interested, then Bradley Cooper will. What a find he has been and this, really being his first major lead, proves that not only is he extremely handsome, but a great actor. Perfect for this role, which apparently was originally to go to Shia LaBoeuf, whom at no stage can you imagine pulling off this role.
The story follows narrator and aspiring author Eddie Morra (Cooper) who is suffering from chronic writer's block, but his life changes instantly when an old friend introduces him to NZT, a revolutionary new pharmaceutical that allows him to tap his full potential. With every synapse crackling, Eddie can recall everything he has ever read, seen or heard, learn any language in a day, comprehend complex equations and beguile anyone he meets as long as he keeps taking the untested drug. He draws much attention to himself with his brand new knowledge and wealth, and of course the bad men finally catch up and make his life hell. His main concern is how to keep his limited supply of the drug coming.
There's some pretty cool camera work in this film, particularly when Eddie is on NZT, (just don't have too many wines before going in if you have a weak stomach for rides!!) The Film is probably slightly male skewed, but there is plenty of interest for the chicks as well. For example, Bradley Cooper in a pinstriped suit, well worth the admission price right there!!!! The supporting actors aren't nearly as noticeable. Robert De niro is not really on screen much and Abbie Cornish is not particularly notable when she is!
Great date movie and as I said, will keep the questions coming long after the credits roll. What if......would you take the pill????? Not since the red or blue pill decision have I thought so much about taking a pill!!! Give the movie a go, I don't think you'll be disappointed!
