Film: Limitless

Limitless was all about charm. It felt like everything, from the plot to the actors to way the film itself was shot was full of that magical something that you can't quite put your finger on. And as such, it was a total pleasure to watch, not too taxing (well not if you didn't want to bother with the intricacies of the story) and as compelling as the drug at the centre of it all. Limitless is the best kind of superhero fantasy since it allows all watching to relate - I certainly now want a pill that would allow me to access all of my brain.

Of course Bradley Cooper was as awesome as he usually is, fitting perfectly in a role that called for someone with the muted confidence he has in spades. And although the look of the film was a little rough around the edges (I almost felt dizzy at some points), all in all it was very well put together.

Although not a classic, Limitless is certainly fun and engaging enough for me to recommend it.
