Possibly the worst movie of the year

Rating: 2/10 (18 March 2011)

What a great premise. What happens if we can take a drug to make us smarter? Well, this movie starts to explore the concept and then falls apart. Do smart people make mistakes? Does absolute power corrupt absolutely? Were the writers of this movie fired midway through the project?
Perhaps the writers need to take the drug that Limitless provides. This movie starts off well, then completely falls apart. There is no reason to care what happens to any of the characters.
Mr. Cooper and Mr. De Niro are perfect casting. The acting is great. However, the script takes a left turn, and the movie makes zero sense. I hope Mr. Cooper can find better scripts.
I am choosing to not give away details. This could have been just a bad TV movie.
