Limitless is a high-speed, high-action film starring Bradley Cooper and Robert De Niro. This film really is intriguing when it comes to the modern world.
Bradley Cooper plays the character of Eddie Morra. Initially he is a writer who is failing badly at his job. His relationship has crumbled and his life is on a long downhill stretch, in which he is almost at the bottom of the pit. This is until he discovers a new drug that expands your mind, making all your knowledge and memory 'limitless'.
As Eddie uses up the limited supply of this drug, he realises its mind-expanding effects. However, the question is raised of how he will maintain his status as "Wall Street coloussus and a Zen master of the universe", as described by The Guardian newspaper.
This film really does draw in it's audience, although the excitement can seem a bit short-lived. It often misses opportunities to add in elements of comedy. And, even though it features Robert De Niro, he is barely in the limelight compared to Bradley Cooper.
