As one man evolves into the perfect version of himself, he forces more corrupt than he can imagine mark him for assassination. Out-of-work writer Eddie Morra's (Bradley Cooper) rejection by girlfriend Lindy (Abbie Cornish) confirms his belief that he has zero future.
That all vanishes the day an old friend introduces Eddie to NZT, a designer pharmaceutical that makes him laser focused and more confident than any man alive. Now on an NZT-fueled odyssey, everything Eddie's read, heard or seen is instantly organized and available to him.
As the former nobody rises to the top of the financial world, he draws the attention of business mogul Carl Van Loon (Robert De Niro), who sees this enhanced version of Eddie as the tool to make billions.
But brutal side effects jeopardize his meteoric ascent. With a dwindling stash and hit men who will eliminate him to get the NZT, Eddie must stay wired long enough to elude capture and fulfill his destiny. If he can't, he will become just another victim who thought he'd found invincibility in a bottle.
Fortunately, Eddie managed to withstand all the challenges and problems faced throughout the whole NZT ordeal. The movie ends with everything going to his side.
Overall, the movie was good. Lots of surprises and anticipation. Various unpredictable scenes and exciting actions as well. Eddie's life changed dramatically throughout the whole duration. From a practically poor writer to a financial dude to one of the powerful men around town, he had to thank the NZT for making him who he became.
He also got back his lover, Lindy, due to his change of life and she eventually found out that he was on NZT drug. Nevertheless, she stayed together with him and supported him. Things went ordinary again when Eddie started to control his dosage of NZT.
Robert De Niro's Carl Van Loon character just spiced things up in Limitless. His appearance pushed Eddie to more limits and forced him to face more problems. Despite that, Eddie managed to be one of the top personnel in Van Loon's company. At the end of the story, it was revealed that Van Loon knows all about Eddie's NZT intake and told him that all the factory producing it has been closed down - threatening him about the limited time he has with the limited NZT pills.
Abbie Cornish's Lindy was sweet and strong at the same time - it totally complement Bradley Cooper's character, which could be fragile and insecure.
Noobie Rating: 7/10 (Good movie, way better than Source Code)
