A very good thriller, ruined by the ending

Rating: 7/10 (4 April 2011)

Limitless is somehow similar to two other movies i watched: Deja Vu and The Adjustment Bureau. All of these movies are pretty good, but they are ruined by a quick, non-explain, Hollywood-y, happy ending. (If you watched any of these movies, you know what i am talking about.) If you haven't watched any of these movies i can tell you that Limitless is a pretty good thriller that makes you feel thrilled, what a thriller should do. Using the urban legend of humans not using 100% of their brain and a pill that can do so, the story is pretty good, but as again, the ending isn't so. Howewer, there also some other positive points in the movie: interesting action scenes, director's music-video-y scenes, an unexpectedly good performance by Bradley Cooper... but as again, the ending pretty much ruins the whole impression.
