Limitless

I liked the story of Limitless, I think the plot of any movie is important as I learnt from watching Sucker Punch.  The basic premise of the movie is that there is a new drug that enables the user to enhance his or her intelligence and focus to the point that it allows them be almost supernaturally smart and it allows them to become very successful at anything they come in contact with.  Naturally there are problems with others know about the drug and the main character Eddie has to fend them off.  As he starts taking more of the drug he also starts finding side effects.  I like the little adventure the story takes you through giving you some nice twists in the story.  Oh and the movie definitely shows that the dudes with the brains get the chicks.

Also some other random notes...I was interested to see Anna Friel in a movie role for the first time.  I haven't seen her in anything other than Pushing Daisies on TV.  Too bad the majority of her screen time was short and for her role they had to put make-up to make her look older.  Also at the end of the movie the main character tries to sound smart by speaking "fluent" Mandarin.  Bradley Cooper didn't quite manage to pull it off and the audience got a couple of chuckles out of it.
