Being boundless is hazardous.

Rating: 7/10 (13 September 2011)

Is it Sci-Fi or mystery? Both. Eddie Morra(Bradley Cooper)is an author without a novel; to be exact it is a strain to find inspiration to write just one word. If this isn't enough, Eddie's girlfriend Lindy(Abbie Cornish)dumps him and promises there is no way she will take him back. The hopeless writer runs into an old friend that offers him a powerful cutting-edge pharmaceutical called NZT. Talk about speed on steroids. NZT causes the brain to function at 100 percent and provides the power to understand very complex mathematics. A powerful businessman Carl Van Loon(Robert De Niro)wants to use Eddie's new abilities to share a fortune upon brokering a major corporate merger. One drawback; NZT has a debilitating side effect...the more you take your future is threatened. Being limitless is definitely hazardous to your health. The cast also features: Andrew Howard, Darren Goldstein, Anna Friel and Robert John Burke.
