LIMITLESS

Indeed, the normal human brain can only utilize up to 20% performance only. So how great if 100% of the brain can be controlled. Everything can be easily achieved, without much effort to turn upside down. If necessary, the world also are in the grip. Well, again, such a unique story ideas raised by Hollywood after a successful amaze the audience through the Source Code. But this idea is not entirely original. Leslie Dixon, the screenwriter, adapting from the novel made by Alan Glynn's The Dark Fields. Hollywood returned to play his role as God by Limitless. To note, Limitless is not a superhero movie or action that indulgence in many action scenes are amazing. As with Source Code, Limitless more appropriately incorporated into the thriller genre. Neil Burger who previously directed Edward Norton in The Illusionist lined up to be a director. Designated as the main actor Bradley Cooper is a sudden become a hot commodity after Hollywood frenzy in Las Vegas by The Hangover.Well, Cooper was as if her re-experiencing deja vu with a hangover at Limitless. If in The Hangover effects of chaos, then the Limitless what will happen next is unknown. This is the danger. Eddie Morra (Bradley Cooper) even had a murder suspect. He did not know what he had done before. This does not happen once or twice, but repeatedly. Worse, sometimes Eddie could not remember how he could be in a place and what he was doing. This mess started when Eddie received a pill called NZT-48 from the former in-law. Having been dumped by his girlfriend, Lindy (Abbie Cornish), and his book still not finished, Eddie thought to be chaotic. When offered a pill that reportedly able to maximize the brain's performance up to 100%, Eddie could not refuse. The result was remarkable. Eddie was able to finish his book in a matter of days. Eddie also visited the former law is to 'fill in stocks' NZT-48. But he would find the former in-law in a state of lifeless and her apartment ransacked. Looks like Eddie is not just a magic pill addiction.Fortunately the perpetrator did not find NZT-48. Inventories are still intact. Eddie was menjarahnya besides taking a bundle of money. Since then, Eddie taking NZT-48 on a regular basis. Her life began to change. Social status has increased dramatically. Lindy back contact. An influential businessman, Carl Van Loon (Robert DeNiro), attracted to him. At this stage, Eddie felt that his life has ended 'happily ever after'. But of course Dixon and Burger did not end just like that. Eddie then know the side effects of NZT-48 and there are a number of life-threatening side Eddie to get NZT-48. During the first 30 minutes, Limitless delicious to eat. Spectators were treated to the process from zero to hero of Eddie. Up to this point, I managed to be lulled by the present Limitless Burger with beautiful visuals and amazing fast editing. It's a headache, but I held up two thumbs. Burger succeed in its mission to bring the audience dissolve into the film. We, as spectators, not only treated to a story about Eddie's life, but also invited to explore the mind, especially when Eddie dominated by NZT-48. Burger appears to have been deliberately placing visual effects for the audience to feel how the dizziness side effects from the NZT-48.
After entering the movie when Eddie triumphed in his business, be a little slower tempo. This is the most exciting moment of Limitless. Dialogue is filled with the world of business terms, stocks and economic meticulous and difficult to digest by the common people. I could have been asleep if Dixon did not immediately end the 'nursery rhymes' with immediate effect. Conflict in the business world really very interesting for me was fortunately quickly terminated and the rate of return improved the film. Effects NZT-48 began to react, the emergence of a number of parties vying for Eddie to the involvement of Lindy's life into the 'adventure' Eddie. The tension builds slowly back and successfully defended by the Burger until the last minute. Limitless clearly emphasizes the visual effects and editing are unique as the main selling. Menarkik story ideas but his execution was not as expected. Bradley Cooper did not experience an improvement in his acting, not much different with The Hangover and The A-Team. Instead Abbie Cornish and Robert DeNiro, who plays strong. Appearance of Johnny Whitworth as a moment-in-law Eddie is also quite impressive.
Limitless not presenting something extraordinary as expected. Quite a lot of gaping holes left by Dixon in the manuscript and Burger did not try to patch it. Rests on the strength of visual, editing and acting, Limitless saved. Had stumbled in the middle of the film, the slow rhythm is filled with sufficient energy intake so that re-shot near the end. In the end, Limitless does not present a spectacle that can make the audience chuckle in awe, but still fun to serve as an entertainment spectacle. Moreover, visual appearance is similar to Google 3D Map can spoil the eye.
