LIMITLESS


”LIMITLESS"(2011/U.S.A)
Synopsis
A paranoia-fueled action thriller about an unsuccessful writer whose life is transformed by a top-secret "smart drug" that allows him to use 100% of his brain and become a perfect version of himself. His enhanced abilities soon attract shadowy forces that threaten his new life in this suspenseful and provocative film.
Aspiring author Eddie Morra is suffering from chronic writer's block, but his life changes instantly when an old friend introduces him to NZT, a revolutionary new pharmaceutical. With every synapse crackling, Eddie can recall everything he has ever read, seen or heard, learn any language in a day, comprehend complex equations and beguile anyone he meets- as long as he keeps taking the untested drug.
Soon Eddie takes Wall Street by storm, parlaying a small stake into millions. His accomplishments catch the eye of mega-mogul Carl Van Loon, who invites him to help broker the largest merger in corporate history. But they also bring Eddie to the atterntion of people willing to do anything to get their hands on his atash of NZT. With his life in jeopardy and the drug's brutal side effects taking their toll. Eddie dodges mysterious stalkers, a vicious gangster and an intense police investigation as he attempts to hang on to his dwindling supply long enough to outwit his enemies.

According to the movie, a human brain is activated usually about 20% and the effect of NZT is 100% to activate it. Eddie became a successful person in life to take the smart drug, but drug is drug after all. He knew that a lof of people died or were suffering from the aftereffects because of the drug but he could not live without it.
If I were suffering from an incurable disease and there were a possibility that the drug could cure it, I would try it. However, I am healthy in reality and I don't want to try it just to satisfy my curiosity and greed.
A story of a miracle drug is common in a movie, but I was interested in the story line and the production of  "LIMITLESS".
Eddie overcame a number of crisis and he ran for the election of members of the Senate at the end of the story. He said his brain was trained and he no longer needed NZT. I thought he lied in order to deceive Carl Van Loon. If it is notthe movie will justify a smart drug.
However, the scene which I envy Eddie is that he could learn any language in a day!
