"No Valley Too Deep, No Mountain Too High...."

Rating: 7/10 (13 April 2014)

If you found a miracle drug which enables you to use 100% of your brain capacity... you'd take it right? If you could bring up any scrap of information you ever learned... Know what was going on around you at any given moment... Calculate complicated numbers in a matter of seconds. You'd be like a living god. Who cares if there are any harmful side effects? The world is your oyster!
But you do start to feel sick during the day... major headaches become a problem... and before you know it, 18 hours are unaccounted for. What's going on? And there's the small matter of a smartly dressed guy trying to kill you, plus a gangster threatening to expose your secret unless you give him some of your stash of illegal substances. Oh and finally, you might have murdered someone. But you can't remember anything. What to do?
Limitless is a skilfully made concept movie about a scenario which may well become a reality one day. There's so much happening, keeping your eyes glued to the screen is a must. Seeing Bradley Cooper speak 50 different languages and intellectualise everything into minute detail is a delight, and the tangled plot offers ample reward for the thinkers out there, too.
P.S If you're expecting an anti-drugs message, judging by the ending... you're going to be sorely disappointed... 7/10
