movie review - Limitless
the journal of Michael Werneburg
twenty-eight years and a million words
Toronto, 2015.04.01
This is a movie in which an experimental drug sets a very average fellow free to do great things. He's soon in conflict with others who have done the same thing and are already taking advantage of their new advantages over the rest of humanity. I didn't like the way that things just kept working out for the main character; aside from a few scrapes the man's ascendancy on any kind of measure (be it success, power, wealth, sexual access to women, etc) followed the trajectory of the title.
Not recommended. Though I know people who insist that others watch it as a way of .. telling us of our potential if it weren't for .. the man? I don't know.
