Limitless

I got the privileged to go to an advance screening of Limitless with A Q and a with screenwriter Lesley Dixon at my school tonight. I came in with very low expectations due to the horrible advertising but came out with a big smile and a feeling of satisfaction. The movie is very unique in every aspect. The dialog is comparable to The Social Network in intricacy and craftsmanship, the acting was great (not Oscar worthy but got the job done very well), Music/Sound was very enjoyable and unique, the cinematography/color palate was great but the editing stood out the most and will definitely be nominated for an Oscar. With the screenwriter having more freedom than most writers these days as well as her producing input, it aloud the movie to be well crafted and tastefully done rather than a Hollywood crap flick. It is definitely the best movie of the year so far, which isn't really saying much, but hopefully it sets the bar for even better films to come.
