A modern film dripping with '80s sleaze, "Limitless" is an enjoyably slimy yuppie fantasy that oozes machismo. Bradley Cooper stars as Eddie Morra, in danger of being swallowed up by New York City with a failed marriage, a book deadline approaching way too fast, and a dumping from his girlfriend (Abbie Cornish) when a chance encounter with his ex-brother-in-law (Johnny Whitworth) offers him salvation in pill form. Literally, it's a pill called NZT that will allow him to access the full limits of human potential by opening up all of his brain function — springboarding off scientific claims that we only use a fraction of it.
