Limitless? Uh-uh.

[Spoiler Alert!] 

I recently saw the movie "Limitless".

"Ice age" and "A Bug's Life" are but two examples of movies that I believe have more substance than "Limitless". Seriously.

"Limitless" is a movie about a loser (lives like a loser; dumped by his gf because he's a loser; lost his wife weeks after being married because he's a loser; is drunk at 2pm because he's a loser etc.) writer who bumps into his ex-brother in law (who happens to be a drug dealer) one fateful day, is introduced to a new drug that makes you super smart, uses his super smarts to start and finish a book he'd been putting off for months, in 4+ days, and then goes on to become a stock trader, after which he decides to be a politician. Wait...! What?! Yes, that's "Limitless"...not in a nutshell. That's really it.

I was personally so unimpressed by that movie that I have nothing else to say about it...except that the 1.5hr+ long show was quite painful to sit through. So if you have a low tolerance for poorly developed GREAT ideas (because the concept of this movie IS pretty awesome), or unnecessarily long movies, please do not pay to see this. Or if you do, have a good remedy, like "post-bad movie" pan seared pork dumplings, for the massive headache that you will undoubtedly develop.

Happy movie going!
