Bradley Cooper plays Eddie Morra, a dishevelled, down-on-his-luck author suffering from an incurable case of writers block.
But the films premise and pace mean these are easily overlooked while the theatres lights are dimmed.
Eddies a great, picaresque character, a modern-day Faust who sacrifices his sanity for a taste of success.
Ultimately, wed all take the clear pill, too, if the opportunity were to present itself.
Just look at the poster thats accompanied its release.
Its two men (famous men, admittedly) standing in the middle of the street.
I get the impression that the Hollywood marketing wizards simply couldnt figure out how to sell it.
If theres any justice,Limitlesswill find an audience through Internet buzz and word of mouth.
And it deserves to, because Neil Burger has made a fascinating, original movie that deserves your attention.
