LIMITLESS

The concept of this movie really intrigued me, so I was actually pretty excited to see it. Good cast, with Robert DeNiro and Bradley Cooper. Directed by Neil Burger, who did a couple of great movies that you should check out, well, actually a lot of you probably saw The Illusionist with Edward Norton, that was pretty cool (not as good as The Prestige though) and the other one is called Interview with the Assassin, which I thought was amazing and not too many people know about it. It's filmed like a documentary, so it seems very real, and it's about a guy who claims to be one of the shooters from the Kennedy assassination. Check it out, you'll be blown away by the guys performance.
Sorry, kind of got off track there. I'm sure you have all seen a preview or two for Limitless, guy takes a pill that lets him access ALL of his brains potential and he gets himself into some trouble of course but I don't want to tell you anything else. The energy of the movie (I sound like a hippie) is great because it doesn't really slow down. They keep you interested the whole time as to what might happen next and that's what I really liked about it. It really lived up to the cool trailers and that is hard to come by these days. Bradley Cooper can definitely hold his own in a movie with DeNiro (even though he's slipping in his old age). I have a feeling we're gonna be seeing even more of Coops. Hangover 2 is coming out soon, not sure how it could even compare to the first, but we'll see.
Limitless wasn't perfect, I mean they definitely could have gone further with it and I really wish they did. I wanted more at the end, but that's a good thing. As with any movie, there were little flaws, but for the most part, the movie didn't disappoint. The critics have been giving it mixed reviews but lately they've been seeing a lot of shit movies, so they're pretty bitter (can't blame em). Don't listen to them, this movie was really fucking cool and it was refreshing to see something of it's kind. It entertained and had a good plot.
SEE IT!!
