Limitless overview
“Limitless” is new out on Blu-ray and DVD this week, and it stars Bradley Cooper as an unmotivated man who takes a pill that allows him to finally live up to his utmost potential. Suddenly, he’s finished his book in three days, made a fortune mastering the stock exchange, and is speaking fluent Cantonese to a waiter.
Despite some snazzy camera angles and showoff-y technique, “Limitless” dashes any hopes of originality when it ends up being nothing more than a cautionary tale about drug addiction. It’s a standard rise and fall tale, with a weird and inappropriately winking ending. That is, if you watch the original ending. The disc features an alternate ending that’s less snappy.
Post-college confusion is spotlighted in “Take Me Home Tonight,” also out this week. Topher Grace co-wrote and stars in this 80s-nostalgic comedy that relies too much on its big hair and bright clothes and not enough on getting inside the head of its characters.
The movie has a lot of slapstick party humor and most of it is pretty rote stuff. But it also wants desperately to be about something, going for a kind of “Say Anything” vibe. Even though Grace and his co-stars are likable, “Take Me Home Tonight” is too infatuated with its setting and too by-the-numbers with its storyline.
Limitless review
Aspiring author Eddie Morra (Cooper) is suffering from chronic writer's
block, but his life changes instantly when an old friend introduces him
to NZT, a revolutionary new pharmaceutical that allows him to tap his
full potential. Soon Eddie takes Wall Street by storm, parlaying a small
stake into millions. His accomplishments catch the eye of mega-mogul
Carl Van Loon (De Niro),who invites him to help broker the largest
merger in corporate history. But they also bring Eddie to the attention
of
people willing to do
anything to get their hands on his stash of NZT. With his life in
jeopardy and the drug's brutal side effects grinding him down, 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
Opening near the close of its story, Limitless introduces a man who's reached his limit: As thugs batter the metal door of his fortified Manhattan penthouse, Eddie Morra (Bradley Cooper) stands at the edge of the terrace, contemplating a dive toward the pavement dozens of floors below.
Eddie is a formerly struggling writer who became a Wall Street ace by boosting his brainpower with an unapproved "smart drug" called NZT. So this speedy thriller would appear to be a cautionary tale about the perils of intellectual cheating.
Guess again: Limitless really has nothing against cheating. In fact ultimately, the filmmakers doesn't sweat the fact that Eddie is a chemically enhanced fraud. What scares them is any possibility of alienating the movie's target audience with a downer ending, so they discount all the effort they've made to push Eddie to the edge, and instead send him someplace much cushier.
Directed by Neil Burger, whose The Illusionist also pulled an upbeat coda out of a hat, Limitless is entertaining for much of its running time. It's glib, and it's overly fond of hyperdrive pans, psychedelic montages and swift rack-focus shifts. But these music-video effects suit the drug-fueled saga, which at first seems to be about the risks of moving too fast.
The film was adapted from Alan Glynn's 2003 novel, The Dark Fields, and is basically Faust for the ADHD era. (One of the most popular real-world smart drugs is Adderall, officially prescribed for ADHD but often used to amp up performance among certain overachieving sets.) Like the tragic hero of that legend, Eddie doesn't take pills for kicks, but for power — the power of knowledge.
At the start of the long flashback that forms the bulk of the movie, Eddie is so clueless that he sports a scruffy ponytail. He realizes he's lost his way when indulgent girlfriend Lindy (Abbie Cornish) finally dumps him. Then Eddie encounters his former brother-in-law (Johnny Whitworth), an oily longtime dealer who now peddles NZT. He gives Eddie a sample bag; a few tabs later, the blocked writer has finished his long-stalled novel. Naturally, it's a winner.
