Storyline
Limitless An action-thriller about a writer who takes an experimental drug that allows him to use 100% of his mind. As one man evolves into the perfect version of himself, forces more corrupt than he can imagine mark him for assassination. Out-of-work writer Eddie Morra’s (Cooper) rejection by girlfriend Lindy (Abbie Cornish) confirms his belief that he has zero future.
That all vanishes the day an old friend introduces Eddie to NZT, a designer pharmaceutical that makes him laser-focused and more confident than any man alive. Now on an NZT-fueled odyssey, everything Eddie’s read, heard or seen is instantly organized and available to him.
As the former nobody rises to the top of the financial world, he draws the attention of business mogul Carl Van Loon (De Niro), who sees this enhanced version of Eddie as the tool to make billions, but brutal side effects jeopardize his meteoric ascent. With a dwindling stash and hit men who will eliminate him to get the NZT, Eddie must stay wired long enough … Written by Relativity Media

Critic Reviews
Tampa Bay Times – Steve Persall : For two hours Limitless is a fun head trip.
Orlando Sentinel – Roger Moore : This film based on Alan Glynn’s novel “Dark Fields” is entirely too reliant on voice-over, a bit too tarted-up by Burger in an effort to make this head trip a visual experience.
Time Out – Keith Uhlich : As we work our way back to that cliff-hanger of an opening, it becomes clear that the movie is no acid critique, but a hollow endorsement of high living. Guess every generation gets its “Boiler Room.”
