Limitless. It was a movie. Then it was a show. Basically a pill makes you Lucy, or some such. It's sinful as hell, even though it's not terrible and you probably forgot all about it.

Next week: A classic film people will hate us for sinning; a classic film no one will hate us for sinning.

Remember, no movie is without sin! Which movie's sins should we expose next?!

    You missed the part where he didnt immediatly pay the gangster back after having more than enough money
  • I will never understand why Eddie doesn't take a few weeks to learn organic chemistry so he could just make his own and keep it all real undercover
  • @heyed7059
    Takes NZT* "Hey I have a brilliant idea, let's get a loan from a mobster"
  • @Sereomontis
    In spite of the bullshit science of it, I actually enjoyed the movie. Thought it was quite good.
  • @jaycorbin6145
    The Limitless TV show was actually pretty decent, even if it took a little too many cues from Psych.
  • @Jerimiah10
    Day 1: Take NZT then learn to make NZT. Day 2: Rules the Earth. Roll credits.

    5:25 Im 35 years old and i have never EVER accidentally turned on my oven. I mean... is that something that people do? Lol
  • @Sojuuk
    Wait. Someone besides me saw this movie? SPOILERS: I LIKED IT

    Limitless started off as a book called 'The Dark Fields' back in 2001 which was republished as Limitless when the movie was released. It is entirely written from the first-person perspective of Eddie writing his story out on a computer and describing his every thought and action, which is why there was so much narration in the movie. Eddie is a former addict, who has just been given a pill that gives him a high exponentially greater than whatever he's had before. Drug addicts are commonly self-absorbed people, so his personality, as well as the neglect he shows towards other people, and the ignorance of the Russian loan shark, make sense for someone in his position.
  • I never understood why he hired a chemist. He could have just read an entire advanced chemistry curriculum and made the neo-NZT himself in a week
  • @bighoss8793
    He had no weapon inside his apartment. Even though he had people trying to kill him???
  • @WEFAHawkStreet
    You missed the biggest sin. The biggest sin of this movie, is that his whole issue with the drug dealer (leading him to come after Cooper, leading him to take the drug, everything that stems from that), is because Cooper FORGOT TO PAY HIM BACK HIS MONEY. COOPER, ON NZT, THE BRAIN SUPERDRUG, FORGOT TO PAY HIM BACK! That should be worth 100 sins, because it ruined the film for me.
  • @Scarleto
    "ADHD person gets anti-ADHD meds for the first time" x 10 + Hollywood = Limitless
  • @danjbundrick
    yeah, so pharmacist here. The dose of drug that he would have gotten from that dude's blood off of the floor would have been several orders of magnitude less than the dose that he would have received from a pill. This means that he could have licked a pill and gotten the same results. Ding.
  • @Outlanes
    I miss the cinema sins that commented on continuity errors and genuine errors not “This guy has too many CDs”
  • @bigabe8518
    Now you have to do the first episode of the Limitless TV series now
  • @hanoc101
    Love this movie. Although I could never figure out why he didn't just pay the Russian loan shark guy back. He had more than enough money to do it.

    "You don't have to be smart to be good at poker". Well being smart would definitely help because then you'd know the probability of getting a certain hand and you would understand how to read your opponents better so you'd be able to predict whether they are bluffing or not.

    Every time you said something akin to “why do we even like this protagonist?” my answer was always the same: because he’s Bradley Cooper 😂
