Limitless (2011) rating: 7/10

What if there were a pill to make you smart? What if not only the smart effects went away when you stopped, but actually made you rather more stupid and even physically frail. If the story sounds a little familiar, it is a bit like Flowers for Algernon, but only a bit.

It's actually interesting how this film sort of worships being smart in all its forms, and especially not the hard working kind of studious smart, but really the easy as pie learn through osmosis street smart where it seems there is a solution to everything if only you are smart enough.

Has good action sequences, too.
