Well, what is there to say about Limitless? It’s pacey and entertaining. Once one has accepted the not totally impossible (given the speed at which modern science is moving) premise everything else makes pretty good sense, and one is not given much time to consider the things that happen deeply anyway. It deals with two issues affecting modern life – greed and addiction – though, as the greedy addict seems to win out at the end (though we are not certain for how long), it’s not, perhaps, a very helpful or informative way of commenting on these problems. It seems futile to carp about it, really – it has no pretensions to being a film of great art or great social comment. It is an entertaining film, slickly made and with high production values, enjoyable while you are watching but pretty instantly forgettable once you’ve left the cinema. In fact, as you can probably tell from this review, though I enjoyed it at the time, I’ve pretty much forgotten any details of what it was about………….
