Story:
Aspiring author Eddie Morra is suffering from chronic writer's block, but his life changes instantly when an old friend introduces him to NZT, a revolutionary new pharmaceutical that allows him to tap his full potential. With every synapse crackling, Eddie can recall everything he has ever read, seen or heard, learn any language in a day, comprehend complex equations and beguile anyone he meets - as long as he keeps taking the untested drug. Soon Eddie takes Wall Street by storm, parlaying a small stake into millions.
His accomplishments catch the eye of mega-mogul Carl Van Loon, who invites him to help broker the largest merger in corporate history. But they also bring Eddie to the attention of people willing to do anything to get their hands on his stash of NZT. With his life in jeopardy and the drug's brutal side effects taking their toll, Eddie dodges mysterious stalkers, a vicious gangster and an intense police investigation as he attempts to hang on to his dwindling supply long enough to outwit his enemies.

Review:
Limitless presents one new concept which is something beyond your imagination, to make a human limitless. It tells something that hasn't been told before. The keynote is a pill. A pill created by unknown pharmacy or company (maybe well known in the story) that can unlock human's brain power till its full potential 100%. That means a human can be a super smart human ever in this life it he/she takes this pill. The concept is simple but interesting. I really excited when I first saw the trailer. It turned out just ok after I watched it.
The story tells us about Eddie Mora, an author, failed to be author, his life is miserable, and his wife had left him too. Everything changed when he accidentally met his brother in law who introduced him a pill called NZT. A pill that changed his life forever. After he took the pill, he become smart successful person like he became somebody else new. One pill last for 24 hours. And he should consume it everyday. But like a medicine, the pill also have a side effect, when he doesn't take it anymore or run out of it, he will become weaker than ever. He will feel sick and die slowly because of this. No cure is offered for this one beside you continue take the pill. Eddie find his way, whatever way to get the pill and defend his position to be smart people. He has to face the gangster, killing accusation, and a corporate leader.
The story should be exciting if it is developed well with a good script, it also has a new exciting concept, bring something different to a movie which can create super human. It hasn't been told before about a pill who can change the world. Unfortunately, the story is just ok. The beginning is good, everything move in a good proportion, after few scenes, everything turns out really fast till the middle part. From here to the ending, everything is lame for me. It has so many boring part that doesn't developed perfectly. So for me, the story part is just ok.
Great acts save the movie. Bradley Cooper and Robert De Niro as we know are great actors. Robert is a legend and Bradley always perfect for this kind of movie. Their acting power really save this movie from its lame and boring part. Some of you may enjoy their acts and forget all the boring part. It's all because they can bring up the down part and keep it fun. Their lineament really show it. The other acts are ok too but usual.
We must remember the director Neil Burger from his unforgettable masterpiece, The Illusionist. The movie I just said was a great movie in 2006 about a magician. He really did a great job there for sure. In this Limitless, he also did a good job for me beside the story part. The direct was good and the added effects were in line with the story. It not as great as limitless but still it will be something for you guys to remember his work.
This kind of movie mustn't be run away from its effects. The effects for this movie are great. The slow motion part after the act took the pill is really great and fun to see. Beside the acts, the effects save the movie too. Some of you who doesn't look at the story part may say this movie is great because of the amazing effects through the movie because it is. I enjoy all the effects in it.

Overall, this movie is ok, a little disappointed for me, but the acts and effects save it all. It's all about the choice. All you can learn from this movie is how to make a good choice for your life.
