An action-thriller about a writer who takes an experimental drug that allows him to use 100 percent of his mind. As one man evolves into the perfect version of himself, forces more corrupt than he can imagine mark him for assassination.
My Take:Limitless is a better-than-average entertaining thriller that features a solid storyline, with great execution and a solid performance from its casts. This is a very strong Blu-ray Disc offering from eOne Entertainment that features a very strong high definition video transfer, near-perfect lossless surround soundtrack and an above average assortment of bonus supplements. This is easily worth a purchase even just for its near-reference quality audio and video presentation.
