Long known fact that an average human uses less than 10% of his brain has always fascinated me. What if we could use all our brain? Limitless is one way in which such a state of mind can lead to.
You take a pill and it puts all of you brain online!! Promising premise. This is the first of many positives of the film. Also I am surprised how much of the film is conversational in tone. Atleast 25% of the movie is in Voice over of the protagonist.
As the film is from point of view of protagonist, it also has to show physical manifestation of the condition, like what protagonist sees telescopic views etc. Or multiple version of self working together. Movie just nails it in this department. It is technically awesome.
Thankfully, movie never sets Eddie to be super human, but only gives him some powers like ablility to access all memories and ability to learn new things while just seeing/listening to them, like martial arts and foreign languages.
But all is not hunky dory with pill, other people know about it, and use it too. It has ‘after effects’…
Of the cast Bradley Cooper as Eddie Morra is perfect, in all versions of character.Also in the cast is Robert de Niro, who hasn’t got much to do here but is fine nonetheless.
It is a good watch, go catch it!
