Limitless
I really enjoyed this movie. It kind of reminded me a lot of Ned Vizzini’s book Be More Chill, what with taking a pill that makes everything seem possible. I kind of wonder if his life ever felt like cheating. I guess you are only able to do what’s within your capacity. I guess you can only reach your potential. But I think at some point I might feel like a fraud.
It was interesting how often Linny came back to him. I wasn’t super surprised when she was there in the end. Guess she didn’t protest too much to being with a guy who maybe was no longer himself. And how he worked out all the bugs of the NXT so that he could still remain super on top of stuff without dying seemed a little under explained. But it was no big surprise that the other guy was on NXT, kind of saw that one coming a little earlier on. Do people ever really come out of nowhere without some kind of assistance? It’s like an average athlete all of a sudden breaking world records. I think it’s safe to question whether or not they’re on drugs.
