Imagine Wall Street and Catch Me if You Can tossed into a blender with a dash of Blade Runner. Limitless is a spectacular film that tells the story of a struggling young man who, when at the end of his rope, turns to a quasi-pharmaceutical pill known as NZT which, for better or worse, drastically changes his life. Using the darker side of life in New York City as a backdrop for this surprisingly action-filled film about corporate greed, Limitless will claim every second of your attention from start to finish, but, be careful, if you don't stay on your toes and keep track of every detail of the film you may find yourself as dumbstruck as Eddie's opponents. I have rarely seen a film with this kind of fresh look on film-making that still remains accessible to the average movie-goer. I give it 5 stars for creativity, excitement and more than enough story to go around. That said, due to some very adult themes, overt sexual allusions and some rather graphic violence, parents may want to be careful about allowing their children to see this film.
