It moves so fast if you stop to think you lose the game big time!

Rating: 8/10 (9 July 2011)

Limitless is a well crafted scientific crime thriller with a super velocity execution. Starting from the opening titles it will grab you in to a world where natural minds status of sanity continuously collides with a supernatural mind state which is dangerously close to insanity.
Eddie Morra is a broken down writer with empty bank account and a regrettable past. While he is trying to get back in track with a book deal he recently got, he struggles to come up with new ideas until he coincidently meet his ex-brother-in-law Vernon. After taking a pill given by Vernon, Eddie's life starts to change in lightning speed. The drugs accelerates Eddie's brain power and improves everything he puts his mind in to. After completing a half of his new book over night Eddie goes back to Vernon asking for another does. After finding Vernon's dead body in his apartment Eddie realize that he has become a part of a deadly game and this drug is his only savior. Armed with a full doze of drugs Eddie steps out to conquer the corporate world. With many enemies trying to grab a piece of his secret Eddie jumps up the ladder and enter new heights while playing the cat and mouse game of his life.
The script of Limitless is filled with near impossible scenarios, starting from the miraculous brain performance enhancing drug. BUT the mere executions of this plot is simply worth seeing. Embedded with unique computer graphics and cinematography the movie will squeeze in to the viewers mind and drags him along the joy ride just as Eddie experience it. In one scene where Eddie goes on a total 18 hour blackout and suddenly comes back to reality, it feels as if it actually happened to you. That I call is gorgeous movie making.
Limitless is one of the most entertaining science fictions I have seeing in recent times. And it moves so fast if you stop to think you lose the game big time! My reviews at flickshout.tk
