The Bouw-Man.
The concept of “Limitless” is pretty intriguing, but it will remain to be seen whether this will be translated properly on the big screen. After taking a look at the trailer, it appears to be an action-filled version of John Travolta’s 1996 film “Phenomenon.” When a person is transformed from ordinary to someone who has mythical powers in a blink of an eye, one usually thinks of a superhero-type film. “Limitless” does not seem to be a superhero-type film, and thank God for that because there’s way too many of those in the Hollywood realm today. Hopefully “Limitless” won’t disappoint, and will tell an interesting story of a man who is given a gift that’s beyond anyone’s wildest expectations. No doubt the powers that be will try to exploit this gift for their own gain, and create a conflict played out before our eyes.

Noodles: Prediction
I pick 'Limitless' as the blockbuster of the weekend. There's nothing people like more than seeing the average Joe turned superhero movie. When I saw the concept of a man using 100% of his brain power, I did wonder how the writers were going to make you regret wanting to have that power. From what I understand it makes you really examine if having that much brain power is a gift or a curse. Sign me up!
