Limitless




Limitless is a movie that outlines many of our greatest dreams come true.... Bradley Cooper finds a pill that makes him a genius. Not just an egghead genius, but expands his mind, allows him to think with total clarity, do extraordinary mental feats, make tons of money and pretty much have anything he wants. Nice, huh?

A friend referred to this as "Fight Club Lite". It sort of fits. And since Fight Club was a classic, it's actually a compliment.

It's such a thrill ride as his life changes. The direction by Neil Burger is great. Bradley Cooper is convincing and does a wonderful job as he transforms. Robert deNiro is a surprise - he has a great role as a big business tycoon - you're never quite sure which way he's moving. Solid performances by all, and a really fun ride.

I had to dial down my brain several times since a few things just don't make sense, but it's Hollywood and it's a good time.

Pueblo Tinseltown was the place - great people and hot fresh popcorn!

Gave this one a "4".
