We went to see Limitless tonight on the strength of a review we heard on the radio. Actually, Lincoln Lawyer was our first choice but it was full, but we were prepared with Limitless as a backup. I’m going to call it a fun actioner with some excellent cinemetography.

Here it is in a nutshell. The protagonist gets a taste of a new designer drug that enables him to use 100% of his brain. It really works and makes you super focused and uber-smart. Then bad things happen, not the least of which is that once you start dosing regularly, you get sick and die if you stop. This means maintaining supply is a big deal. This film is a lot of fun and is an enjoyable ride throughout. The effects once buddy takes the drug are great. They obviously had trouble figuring out how to end the thing, though, but I forgive that. Nicely done.
