Review of Limitless (2011) by Francium34 — 19 Jul 2011
One word, shallow. A shame, since the cool starting concept went to waste.[SPOILERS] The glaring hole in plot/character is: if the drug is all-enabling, what differentiates the central character from the thug and any other person on drugs? The answer the movie gave is NOTHING.
He didn't have any redeeming qualities, from start to end he was completely reliant on the drug. He may have killed someone, and showed zero remorse or guilt. Aside from running out of the drug, he really didn't run into any problems.
I felt the movie had a chance when he was told "you don't have experience, you have talent but you didn't earn it". Unfortunately the director never went down that road. I give the movie 6, because it just doesn't live up to potential.
