Hallucinatory movie i watched!

The same day after watching ‘Hachiko’ I decided to watch this movie called ‘Limitless’. I was absolutely unaware of the story or the plot of this movie. I just randomly picked out this movie out of the 4 given by a friend (loosely knowing that the lead was Bradley Cooper).

From start to finish, "Limitless" is Bradley Cooper's movie. The "Hangover" dude seems to shape-change before our eyes as he morphs from chinless slacker to colorful con artist to perfectly sculpted Ken doll. But it's this actor's total commitment to whatever role he's playing that gives him a leg up from pretty-boy-with-great-abs to real movie-star status. Limitless is a 2011 thriller film directed by Neil Burger and starring Bradley Cooper, Abbie Cornish, and Robert De Niro. It is based on the 2001 novel The Dark Fields by Alan Glynn with the screenplay by Leslie Dixon.  It is a head-trip movie about pharmaceutically enhanced intelligence in the Age of Information to make you larger, wisdom-wise.

The plot goes at follows. , Eddie Morra (Cooper) can't come up with even the first word of his promised novel about the "plight of the individual in the 21st century." For this soul, reality is thick and dim; like most of us, he's mostly unaware of the ocean of data in which he blindly swims, and sinks. Then his ex-brother-in-law (Johnny Whitworth) pops up to offer him a pill that will make him large. After dropping NZT-48(the pill), everything in Eddie's brain fires at once. The whole world lights up. Words literally drop out of his brains as he whips out 40 brilliant pages.

One thing that urged me to keep watching this movie is the hallucinatory visual effects .Anyone that trips on speed should appreciate the movie's attempts to faster and hotter reality. (Significantly, when Eddie flashes back into memory) And then Eddie goes into NZT-48 overdrive, the dark side of drugging comes alive. Eddie scores a bagful from his Ex-brother-in-law, after the guy's been brutally murdered. Soon he borrows money from a Russian gangster and starts doing wonders in stock market, which brings him to the attention of Carl Van Loon (Robert De Niro) a corporate mogul poised for a global merger that will make him king of the world.

I won’t be telling you more because i want you to go and watch this movie. No disputing that "logic and proportion have fallen sloppy dead" in "Limitless." So don't expect this jiggy little head-trip movie about pharmaceutically enhanced intelligence in the Age of Information to make you larger, wisdom-wise. But Neil Burger ("The Illusionist") deploys this genre mishmash with all the aplomb of a director on speed, while Bradley Cooper puts pedal to the metal in a performance that fast-forwards from schlub to über-Gordon Gekko to Bruce Lee action hero to Teflon politico. Yes, you wish "Limitless" was smarter and sharper about its tantalizing premise (drawn from Alan Glynn's 2001 novel "The Dark Fields"), but be happy that this week's offering of cinematic soma isn't "The Adjustment Bureau" all over again. "Limitless" delivers some pleasurable punch -- and rarely makes you feel small.
