All of us have goals in life. Some we meet, some we don't. So what stops us from reaching the goals that we fall short on? Poor memory? Patience? Concentration? Intelligence? But what if there was a drug that could overcome all of these? That's the premise of Limitless, one of the smartest and intriguing thrillers I've seen for some time.

Eddie Morra (Bradley Cooper) is a down and out writer with a serious case of writers block. He's on a downward spiral; broke, his girlfriend Lindy (Abbie Cornish) has left him and is going nowhere fast. A chance encounter with his ex-wife's shady brother Vernon (Johnny Whitworth) reveals that he now works for a drug company whose newly developed and experimental drug NZT has just been FDA approved, which has the potential to unlock the full capabilities of the human mind.
