I worry because everyone seems to look up to me and it’s making me a little uncomfortable. I can try but I can’t solve every problem. I don’t know if I can live up to this… myth they want me to be – Superman (JLA)

Limitless
A tablet a day and I was Limitless… – Eddie Morra
Limitless is Neil Burger’s 2011 thriller about the “smart drug”
An unsuccessful writer (Cooper) discovers an underground drug that allows you to access 100% of your brain’s capabilities
The film starts with an attention grabbing opening sequence and then puts on the brakes for a while so as to explain things
The film has a very interesting premise, “what could you do if you could access 100% of your brain”
It has a few slow moments but never stops because it has Bradley Cooper’s voice over narration to move things along. The script is hit and miss but I think it hits more than it misses
I think the movies is well edited and I liked the “drug effects” that appeared on screen when the drug was in use, also contrasting colours were used to nice effect, where colours were dull and greyish when the drug wasn’t used but when it was being used everything was crisp and bright
At some points in the movie when things weren’t going too well with the drug it felt like it was going to lean into the “drugs are bad” cache of movies, but it didn’t, it did its own thing.
Although the plot is thin, I think the movie on a technical level to be well made and it is certainly very entertaining to watch
