Grade: B
Action-thriller “Limitless” follows struggling writer Eddie Morra (Bradley Cooper), whose life changes after taking an experimental drug. This miracle narcotic allows him to use 100 percent of his mind, giving him the confidence and focus to acquire everything he wanted in life and of himself. With the drug, Cooper’s character succeeds in everything he puts his mind to, only to face detrimental side effects and dealings with dangerous businessman Carl Van Loon (Robert De Niro). Even with a mediocre script, director Neil Burger intrigues viewers with fantasy and reality that leaves audiences questioning which is more desirable.
