Limitless

Hello, thanks for reading and welcome to another Anything3Declare film review. Today i shall be Reviewing the new release, Limitless. Directed by Niel Burger and written by Leslie Dixon.

The film is based on a novel written by Alan Glynn about a writer called Eddie Morra (Bradley Cooper) who is suffering from writers block. His life is slowly slipping down hill after breaking up with his girl friend Lindy (Abby Cornish). Eddie bumps into his ex-brother in law Vernon (Johnny Whitworth), and goes for a drink and a catch up with him. Eddie tells Vernon about the problems clouding his ability to write the book he is working on. Vernon introduces Eddie to NZT, a drag that enables the brain to use 100% of its power. By using his brain to full potential Eddie soon turns his life around by finishing his book in record time and becoming a stock market wizard and soon becomes involved with business big wig, Carl Van Loon (Robert De Niro). Eddie thinks his life is on easy street, not for long though.

I'm going to stop there because if not i am going to ruin the film for you. I thought this film had a lot to offer in terms on entertainment and the message behind the movie... DRUGS ARE BAD KIDS! The cinematography in this film was superb. There are many continuous zooms that follow down various streets and through cities. Not only do these shots look as cool as your Granddad in socks and sandals they also give the fell that you are with Eddie as he travels the streets. One of those moments that make the cinema worth paying for. This movie also has an impressive soundtrack By Paul Leonard-Morgan with each track well placed and fitted with whats happening on screen. There are some bad ass fight scenes, that are well choreographed, and some blood drinking for all you Twilight gays out there.

The acting was poor in places mainly from Abby Cornish. There is a scene where she sounds like she is crying, because she is being chased but her face on body language says otherwise, wasn't to sure what was going on there. De Niro, well do i have to say anything? Great as always a pleasure to watch on screen. The actor i was most impressed with was Bradley Cooper. When i saw the trailer for this film i thought to myself "He cant do a roll like that, he was only good in the Hangover!" I was wrong. He fitted the roll perfectly and not once did i think too myself "It's ?Doug from the hangover."

Over all the film was a good watch, i would definitely consider buying this film. This film gets a rating of, "Hmm that got me thinking" out of 10. People who have seen the film let me know what you think by leaving a comment or you can tweet me @athreed

As always, thanks for reading. Peace.
