Contains Spoilers Throughout.

This exists to record my thoughts on movies, and occasionally other stuff. Too often my thoughts on something go unthunk for a while and eventually forgotten. I figure if I invested time in something in the first place, it's worth a few more minutes to make sure I remember it.

Limitless (2011)

I have two problems with this movie:
Drinking the blood, really?
Happy ending, wtf?

Those points aside, I thought this was pretty solid.  It looked great, and if this director does Uncharted I’m sure it will be awesome.  Decent story, no bad acting, good music.  Going into it I thought maybe the pills would end up being a placebo, but it soon became clear that wasn’t the case.  I really wish they had not gone with the happy ending, maybe let DeNiro’s character win since Cooper really did reach too far and not earn his place.  I bet there was an alternate ending on the real bl-ray, but we only got the rental version.
