LIMITLESS!

Directed byNeil Burger.
WriterLeslie Dixon (screenplay) and Alan Glynn (novel).
StarsBradley Cooper, Anna Friel and Abbie Cornish.

An action-thriller about a writer who takes an experimental drug that allows him to use 100 percent of his mind. As one man evolves into the perfect version of himself, forces more corrupt than he can imagine mark him for assassination. Out-of-work writer Eddie Morra's (Cooper) rejection by girlfriend Lindy (Abbie Cornish) confirms his belief that he has zero future. That all vanishes the day an old friend introduces Eddie to NZT, a designer pharmaceutical that makes him laser focused and more confident than any man alive. Now on an NZT-fueled odyssey, everything Eddie's read, heard or seen is instantly organized and available to him. As the former nobody rises to the top of the financial world, he draws the attention of business mogul Carl Van Loon (De Niro), who sees this enhanced version of Eddie as the tool to make billions. But brutal side effects jeopardize his meteoric ascent...

I recently watched limitless as i thought it would be an interesting film to analyse as it looks like it would be an amazing complicated movie to look at.
> Firstly i wasn't quite sure on what the genre of the film was, so with a little research on IMDB ( http://www.imdb.com/title/tt1219289/ )and the genre is: Mystery, Sci-fi, thriller
> Also the whole sense of, if the main character goes of his medication, well i say medication, but its more like a drug, he will die, which is the opposite of a drug in reality.
> Every character in the film, that gets involved with the drug is able to access 100% of there brain power, and all the villains if thats what you want to call them, are trying to get this drug, so they all seem rather sly and sneaky.
> The ending of the movie is quite complicated to understand, as he is off the drug, and is fit and healthy, but still being able to have access to 100% of his brain. I had to think about the end, to figure out how he does, it. He ends up being a very powerful business man, and then runs for president of the United States.

To conclude i think this movie is a one to watch, but you have to be a person who is able to understand this easily, or you will be lost in the movie, especially the end.
