Limitless

Another movie we watched in the last week: Limitless. The story is that of a failed writer (a lazy young man, if you ask me. I can't see what his gorgeous girlfriend ever saw in him) who comes across a pill that enables him to access his brain's full capacity (the premise being that humans only access 10% of our brains). He remembers everything, he is able to process information really fast, he is full of energy and ideas. There is a but of course. Let's just say that things go pear-shaped, because he's not the only one who wants this pill. Plus the special powers only last for 24 hours, so you have to have a big stash! Plus it can kill you if you don't manage it properly.

It's a story for boys, but I enjoyed it. It's full of humour, a few gory bits, and fabulous cinematography.
