Good but not Great

Rating: 8/10 (4 June 2015)

The premise of Limitless is highly intriguing and the casting of Bradley Cooper in the lead role makes us hard to look away from the screen. The charismatic Cooper carries the movie on his shoulders as he inhabits his character perfectly and makes the movie a treat to watch. On receiving a mysterious drug which supposedly allows an individual to access 100 percent of his brain, Bradley Cooper's character is able to complete a novel in 4 days by taking this wonder pill. As his ambitiousness grows, he decides to use his deductive skills to make some quick money in the stock market. Even though the effects of the drug made a remarkable turnaround in his life, its side-effects were starting to show up which happened on withdrawal of the drug. The flaw in this movie is that a lot of action seems to happen at a convenient time and it seems a little unrealistic. Also, at the end we do not know the whereabouts of the people in his home. The movie was a decent one but do not have exceedingly high expectations.
