Limitless: Spoiler free review



                           What better thing to do on a relaxing Friday night than to watch a movie? Alcohol? Sorry, I'm being healthy for the next 3 months. Anyways, it was just between watching Source Code or Limitless. Obviously Limitless won in my mental election. What helped most in the decision making? Two words, Bradley Cooper. Yeah, the cool guy from Hangover. He gave that movie a cool feel and personally, took the movie over the hump. It's not a Hangover review so enough about that.

Limitless is an action, a bit of fantasy (i guess) film about a tiny clear pill that cost $800 a pop. A pill that could give you access to 100% of your brain's power. Yep, having a four digit I.Q. is now possible. You can basically learn things in a faster rate and change your entire life extremely. Changing a lowlife bum into a successful, popular, and very intelligent young man. This is what happened to Eddie Mora (Bradley Cooper). Everything else follows. Unfortunate events, fortunate events, but like other drugs, it had side effects and adverse reactions. Too bad for Eddie, he wasn't told the full details of the pill. The only thing he was told of was it was going to change his life. What are these side effects? Well, you have to find out for yourself.

This movie is very entertaining. They really put a lot of work in the conversations, and covered a lot of fields. Stock Market, Medical, Pharmaceutical, or just plain Business. You name it, it's all there. 100% of the movie was exciting. Everyone played their role to perfection. Robert DeNiro's character although complicated, became easily understandable thanks to his superb portrayal. Most of us can relate to this movie. This movie makes you think about things. Like why aren't we able to fully use our brain? Why are we limited to just 20%? Is there something bad beyond  20%?  This movie is a must watch. The target audience is wide. Young, old, male. female, nerds, douchebags, everyone is invited. I give it a 7.3!!! Not a 10? Well it's not a super awesome, great movie. That's why. I'm sure you'll enjoy. Trust me.
