Thoughts On Limitless

**********SPOILER ALERT**********

1. Generic thriller that could be decent but fails to take such a route.
2. Burger attempts to make a David Fincher - type movie with a script that perhaps I could of wrote. Yes, I write crappy scripts. Hey, I'm trying.
3. Too much of the film involved the terrible side effects of this miracle drug. We don't want that! We wan't to see more of Bradley Cooper getting rich and famous!
4. I am half convinced Robert De Niro doesn't even know the plot of the movies he is in anymore. He just gets the lines, shows up and gets paid.
5. So this guy has an unbelievable miracle drug that other people will literally kill him to get their hands on...and he starts letting his sister's ex husband who he hasn't seen in years use it? What a nice guy.
6. Moral of the story: Do drugs. No seriously, Bradley Cooper's character beats the system and continues using drugs. No, seriously.

Rating: 5

Rating Breakdown

5 points - Thrillers generally get high marks from me but so much of this thriller ruined any good aspects it had.
