Limitless (TBC): On General Release From Wednesday 23rd March

The Hangover was one of the biggest comedies of the decade, the A-Team promotional ads were everywhere and he’s appeared in numerous romantic comedies but people still don’t seem to know who Bradley Cooper is. All that looks set to change as he takes the lead in director Neil Burger’s drug thriller, Limitless.

Cooper plays down-and-out author Eddie Morra who’s been wrestling with a bad case of writer’s block which has put a strain on his relationship with Lindy (Abbie Cornish). She’s had enough of his layabout, struggling artist ways and breaks it off with him. Feeling lost and dejected, Eddie runs into his ex-brother-in-law Vernon, a dodgy drug rep who gives Eddie a free sample of NZT. The little clear pill allows users to access 100% of their brain’s full potential and although no one in their right mind would accept a cup of tea from sleazy Vernon, Eddie accepts the NZT, no questions asked. Do It!
