Limitless

Limitless = 10/10

I loved everything about this movie.

The main character was a loser in the beginning, just like he's supposed to be. The actor played up the desperation behind writer's block, the disorganization of his life, his bad habits. He was the perfect mooch, but transformed into a cool, sleek, badass gentleman effortlessly.

The villain was smart and crafty, just full of life experience to challenge the hero. Plus, come on, it was Robert DeNiro!

The pill was a great inanimate villain. It was representing the most dangerous path to the greatest side of the hero. It's a mystery in the beginning. A "what's the worst that could happen?" type of pill for the main character as a loser. Everyone knows what that line leads to - Murphy's Law.
