Suspense without limits

Rating: Null/10 (25 June 2011)

This film is about a fiction writer whose brain power is unleashed through a mystery pill that his ex-wife's brother gives him. He enjoys the phenomenal success the brain power gives him, yet endless trouble awaits without his knowledge.
"Limitless" has a very well written script. It is suspenseful, engaging and thrilling. It keeps me on edge throughout the film, wondering what will happen next, and how will the film end. The pacing is just right, and there is much excitement to keep the adrenaline going. The visual effects of altered vision when on the drug is cool, it really gives a sense of distorted perception but without crazy vertigo-inducing tricks.
Bradley Cooper is very convincing as a high flier, and when the story dictates, he can look like a rock bottom junkie too. "Limitless" is a great film that is not to be missed.
