Limitless (2011)



Entertainment: 4
The core idea for this movie is a winner, and gives an otherwise roughly executed story mileage. However, this movie barely stands inside the "like" category. I found I was excited to see the movie finishing as it wrapped up--never a good sign--as the plot bogged down and got boring somewhere in the middle.

Writing: 2
While the main idea was good, execution was lacking. The main character (Eddie) is unlikable, and the amoral approach to the script feels like a missed opportunity to get viewer buy-in.

Presentation: 4
The visuals were decent though occasionally nauseating.
