ANGELIKA’S NOTE

"LIMITLESS hits you like an adrenaline rush that will have you saying, 'I'll have what he's having,'" raves Rolling Stone. With the help of a mysterious pill that enables the user to access 100% of his brain abilities, a struggling writer becomes a financial wizard, but it puts him in a new world with lots of dangers. Neil Burger's action-packed thriller is a thrill-ride of a cinematic escape, that features a spectacular lead performance from Oscar nominee Bradley Cooper (A STAR IS BORN, SILVER LININGS PLAYBOOK, AMERICAN HUSTLE).

SYNOPSIS

Facing unemployment and his girlfriend’s rejection, writer Eddie Morra (Bradley Cooper) is sure that he has no future. That all changes when an old friend gives him a drug that produces enhanced mental acuity. Stoked on the untested chemical, Eddie rises to the top of the financial world and attracts the attention of a tycoon (Robert De Niro) who intends to use him to make a fortune. But terrible side-effects and a dwindling supply threaten to collapse Eddie’s house of cards.
