Limitless

You should know the concept by now.  A slacker gets a mysterious pill that unlocks the full potential of his brain.  Gret premise, good execution, weak ending.  I have to say though that this is one of the most visually interesting movies I've seen in a while.   I sat through the opening credits going, "How the hell did they do that?".  That's a saying a lot for me.  I am not easily impressed by special effects.  This blew my mind though.

The story is definitely well written.  Brad Cooper did a phenomal job acting in it as well.  Robert DeNiro was a waste.  I haven't seen acting that bad since "Little Fockers" (which was just a couple of months ago).  It's just too bad the ending was just okay.  It didn't suck, but it wasn't great.  And it could have been great.

All and all I would recommend this film to general public.  Rating: 8 out of 10.
