Year: 2011
Stars: Bradley Cooper, Abbie Cornish, Anna Friel, Robert De Niro
I wasn't sure how much I was going to enjoy this. There wasn't a lot on at the cinema, and this (along with Source Code) seemed like the best of the bunch.
Limitless is all about Eddie Morra (Cooper), a guy who discovers a drug called NZT - and how it can open his mind to make him more successful. Obviously, this opens the way for lots of shady characters to appear, all of whom want something.
It's all perfectly enjoyable, and as long as you're willing to be whisked along for the ride you'll be happy enough. It's just best not to overthink it - I got the impression the film thought it was far cleverer than it really is. There were just one too many plot holes and unexplained things for my liking.
Rating: 3 out of 5
About Me
- Anna Lawson
- I live in Bristol with my husband Dan (who I married in July 2007), my son Joe (born 2012) and daughter Jess (born 2015). I work at UWE (the University of the West of England) in Bristol as a Research and Open Access Librarian. I'm orginally from Exeter, so moving back to Bristol is a bit like coming home - especially as I studied for my undergraduate degree here (also at UWE). I love travelling and movies, although I get to do a lot less of both since the birth of our children. Although we have still managed to fit in holidays to the Isles of Scilly, Chamonix and a summer in California since Joe was born.
