@AndroidStory Android Market Movie pick of the Day – Limitless

A struggling writer unlocks the full potential of his brain by taking a cutting-edge pharmaceutical, only to find that his newfound abilities have made him a target for some of the most greedy and dangerous men on the planet. Eddie Morra (Bradley Cooper) is an author without a novel. No matter how hard he tries, he just can’t summon the inspiration to write a single word. That all changes when an old friend wanders back into Eddie’s life, and opens his eyes to a powerful new drug called NZT. The moment Eddie takes NZT, his brain begins functioning at 100 percent, giving him the ability to quickly recall every event in his life down to the smallest detail, learn new languages in a flash, and harness the untapped power of complex mathematical equations. But when Eddie’s supply of NZT runs out, the party is over. Of course, it doesn’t take Eddie long to make a mint on Wall Street, and when he does, it draws the attention of Carl Van Loon (Robert De Niro), one of the world’s most powerful and prominent businessmen. With Eddie’s help, Carl plots to arbitrate a complex corporate merger that will shake the establishment to its very core. Just as the deal is about to be brokered, however, some dangerous characters discover Eddie’s secret and come gunning for his dwindling supply of medicine. Now, if Eddie can just endure the debilitating side effects of NZT long enough to run for his life, he may just survive to see another day.

If there was ever a drug out like NZT, the world would be insane. It would sell for millions of dollars and the rich would only get richer. I can’t imagine anything like this being good in any way shape or form. Does that mean I wouldn’t drain my bank account and sell my kids to get just 1 pill for a day? ABSOLUTELY NOT! I have watched this movie at least 3 times and I still find it interesting. If you have ever wondered what it would be like to use more than the suggested 10% of our brains potential. I blame media and mindless games for that one, thanks ANDROID for making me stupider and smarter at the same time!

I am no movie expert by any means. I do know what I like though. If you have already seen this flick, what are your thoughts about it?
