If
ignorance is bliss, what is intelligence? Misery? According to this year's fast-paced flick,
Limitless, intelligence is actually a pill. A very
addictive pill. One that helps you unlock that 80% of unused brain you've been carrying around your whole life. But what happens when you stop taking it? Surprise! Misery. Oh, and Russians. Angry, angry Russians.

Before watching this, I thought the premise looked interesting enough, but honestly never thought it'd make the cut (not that I'm that
discriminating, mind you). One free Redbox code later however, and I'm glad I checked this one out. It has a visual style that is appealing and reels you in quickly. Our protagonist's ordinary, somewhat-gloomy life is depicted in grays and blues. But once the medication kicks in, it's all
golden. Except for his eyes, which are unnaturally blue. Please tell me that was a special effect, 'cause that's not even fair otherwise.
