Limitless (2011) Uncut Reaction!

James - Great reaction! BTW, I read the book and will not go into it, but it ends very differently. Along these lines, a really good short story "Understand" (By Ted Chiang, the author of the story that the movie Arrival is based on), that I read before the movie is well worth the read. The scenario begins with a patient who is given an experimental drug to try and improve brain function in someone who wakes up to... "A layer of ice; it feels rough against my face, but not cold. I've got nothing to hold on to; my gloves just keep sliding off it. I can see people on top, running around, but they can't do anything. I'm trying to pound the ice with my fists, but my arms move in slow motion, and my lungs must have burst, and my head's going fuzzy, and I feel like I'm dissolving-- I wake up, screaming. My heart's going like a jackhammer. Christ. I pull off my blankets and sit on the edge of the bed. I couldn't remember that before. Before I only remembered falling through the ice; the doctor said my mind had suppressed the rest. Now I remember it, and it's the worst nightmare I've ever had. I'm grabbing the down comforter with my fists, and I can feel myself trembling. I try to calm down, to breathe slowly, but sobs keep forcing their way out. It was so real I could feel it: feel what it was like to die. I was in that water for nearly an hour; I was more vegetable than anything else by the time they brought me up. Am I recovered? It was the first time the hospital had ever tried their new drug on someone with so much brain damage. Did it work?..."

I love this movie so much. Same with Lucy.

The Seven Deadly Sins

By the way, Bradley Cooper is actually a great writer and director as well as an actor. Might checkout his writing and directing debut, A Star is Born. Such a great film. He got nominated as a producer, actor, and screenwriter at the Academy Awards for that film. Also Lady Gaga and Sam Elliott were also both nominated for their acting performances in that film as well. Also, Dave Chapelle has a great dramatic small supporting role in that film as well.
