SYNOPSIS

Eddie Morra (Bradley Cooper) is a writer in free fall, his literary creativity in a crisis and the relationship with his girlfriend over. Everything changes when a twist of fate reaches your hands an experimental drug that when ingested provides additional intelligence and brain performance. Certainly this would be a great privilege if not for the suspicions of those around him with his change and some strange characters who begin to harass you.

CRITICAL

"Without Limits" no longer a thriller to use the pretext of a good idea and a bad development, as Hollywood comes accustomed in recent decades. Perhaps the argument as curious as a pill that makes exploiting the resources of our brain almost 100% is an attractive idea and bright that all human beings and that we would try this time through a sometimes predictable script an interpretation rather than discrete, force it to lose from twenty minutes of footage. And is that all familiar with the theory that man uses only 5% of your brain when you could, exercising every day, reaching the absolute limits of intellectual power, but being one of the most common defects of the human species sloth and so much effort to make to achieve a personal best makes anything go down arms planteárnoslo start, especially when we see that there are drugs (experimental film) getting the same thing but in seconds ... fantastic or probable ?

Today would not be unreasonable to assert that there may be a synthetic substance that gives us the final push to be a superman (my contact at the CIA neither confirms nor denies that it is working on it), but all that power conscious or subconscious only has the ultimate aim is that everyone craves: pasta, pasta, pasta, pasta and more fame. And that's where I can break a lance with "no limit", because it reaches into existentialist concepts or moral or abuse at any time pedantic discourses on how to use the intelligence to be "better person" or "change the world for the better" and these broods as little surface as useless, no, the protagonist in question uses his perceptions increase, the acceleration in the reasoning and memories exploited for what any of us would do in his shoes: get rich and famous, thrive in society consumption, climbing Maslow's pyramid and reach the summit of social recognition when you're filthy rich. And that honesty, sincerity of his cinematic discourse, not wanting to fool with half-measures, is what won me as a spectator, as a film because the truth is rather disappointing. Some strike out frivolous me and I wonder if there's nothing else in life besides being rich and famous, and I would say emphatically yes, there are many things, but if for an instant have the possibility to achieve intellectual perfection, ¿ really for why you would use in an immediate way?

Finally, I remember the collaboration of Robert Deniro that can be seen in some time and whose participation is obviously to increase the cache of a poor film. No doubt the teacher Deniro seedy side exit in these films integers detract a great actor, what time of the last ten years this "monster" was removed interpreting the desire to make good movies? And as for the star Bradley Cooper, last spunky fashion famous for his recent work on the (vomit) remake of "A-Team" or "Hangover" does nothing more than his own, look look interesting, attractive show Hugo Boss ad and wait for special visual effects and film actor compensate for how bad it seems.
