stars Bradley Cooper as a habitual loser whose life is transformed when he comes into possession of a drug which allows him to unlock the full potential of his mind, although not without some unwanted side effects. One of these side effects being that people make sarcastic animations poking fun at his movie.
Directed by Neil Burger ( The Illusionist . The Ed Norton one, not the fab cartoon) and based on The Dark Fields , the 2001 novel by Alan Glynn, Limitless finds Eddie Mora (Cooper) going from scum-sucker to high roller when he powers up his brain using a special pill. Playing Mora's gal-pal Lyndy is Abbie Cornish, once again underlining her credentials as the cut-price Charlize Theron, and that De Niro bloke appears as the billionaire financier who makes vaguely threatening pronouncements in a bid to amp up the tension.
There is already a written review of Limitless up on the site, courtesy of Kimberly, but for those who simply cannot be bothered to exert the Herculean effort needed to process some words written on the screen, then an alternative exists in the form of the below animated video review.
True, the clip might be rather thinner on actual information about the film, but it attempts to compensate for this factoid deficit via consideration of Bradley Cooper's future as the face of Viagra, how Gerard Depardieu might have looked had he featured in the final act of Ghostbusters , and what Robert De Niro has in common with the style fads of Premiership footballers.
Those IndieMovies users based in the UK and Australia can also watch Interview with the Assassin , the conspiracy thriller feature debut from director Neil Burger.
