LIMITLESS

Its dope.  

This one sounded like it could be a good movie and built up the anticipation enough with the trailers and delivered.  

The story goes as this guy Eddie Morra who is a loser.  Looks like a bum, behind on his rent, his bitch left him, he didn't have any income or any future hope to fix that, his game was shitty, just overall at the bottom of his life .  Then along comes a figure who was in and out this movie quickly. An old relative of his ex-wife his ex-brother in law.  Dude looks like a sleeze ball with loot and Eddie knew dude was a sleeze ball.  This ex-brother in law plays the friendly route like a true dealer and puts ol' Eddie up on the new shit.  A designer drug called MDT.  First one is always free.  You'll be back nigga.  Oh, take this card and keep in touch.


Now MDT is some real fly shit.  Its designed to stimulate the brain's receptors to make the user a an extremely enhanced version of themself.  Tighter mentally and verbally Eddie can game any breezee, connect the dots in his once scattered memory, figure out advanced mathematical equations, come up with complex formulas in dealing with the stock markets, and finish a book he had writers block on in one day, and a bunch of mo shit.  He learned of these abilities after he macked up the landlord's wife while halting her bitching about the rent and focused on what she was really unhappy about which he observed in this beezies presence.  He took her down and helped her with her homework.  So dudes game is on point all because of MDT. It enhances the users own abilities by say 100 percent given Eddie's condition before taking that shit.


So his bro-in law has the connect but has problems.  Thoughtfully he tried not to involve Eddie with that shit before his demise.  He gets murked and Eddie inherits some of his ex-bro in law's shit following his demise, some cash, a book, and the MDT stash.  That stash is upwards of 150 pills in a baggie so he was grateful.  He starts taking those pills daily and with the help of some of his ex-bro guap Eddie's game starts bubbling.  Money starts coming in, he gets fly, bitches start liking him, people generally want to fuck with this dude because he is brilliant, while on MDT.


Eddie's begins to feel this drug maybe attracting negative elements and it does.  People are watching and following this dude.  And on top of that he is taking some shit made in a lab so he begins to learn about side effects.  I would say it's like any drug's side effects from the junkies I seen.  Your gonna lose something teeth, looks, or your life.  So Eddie starts to weigh his new artificial powers against the consequences of his new habit and he has a few examples of former users of the drug to help any of his decisions. 

The thing about this movie is you wonder how it will end.  If he runs out of those pills he runs out of game and Eddie knew that.  How will he maintain the heights he reached via MDT.  Will he completely fall off, die, find another dealer?  Watch it your damn self because I ain't telling you shit!


All in all this is one of the best movies of the year.  I wasn't disappointed at all in this one.  The story worked well and I was cool with the ending. I liked it.


My Rating:
4-4.5/5

On a similar note, I recently had a conversation with a young lady about this.  Being on point comes from within yourself.  Outside influences may assist in you getting sharper but ultimately you have to get you together by knowing yourself to reach your full potential.  Fucking with dope isn't the answer.  You may open new avenues in your mind but those avenues can be reached without the drugs if you work on it.  I once heard if you are bored then you aren't using your mind.  I felt that shit when I read it because I entertain myself with my thoughts daily be they humorous or noteworthy.
