Limitless Is a Mix of Sherlock Holmes, Tony Stark, and a high-stakes con artist

by Larry Chiang on July 3, 2025


In Limitless, Bradley Cooper plays Eddie Morra, a struggling writer who discovers NZT-48, a drug that unlocks 100% of his brain’s potential, turning him into a hyper-intelligent, charismatic, and resourceful badass. 
Here are some of the coolest things Eddie does while under the influence of NZT:
1. Mastering Knowledge Instantly
Eddie writes a brilliant novel in just a few days, absorbing and synthesizing complex information effortlessly. He learns languages like Italian and Mandarin in hours, casually conversing with native speakers.
2. Outsmarting Wall Street
He turns a small loan into millions by analyzing stock market patterns with uncanny precision, catching the attention of finance mogul Carl Van Loon (Robert De Niro). His ability to predict market moves is almost superhuman.
3. Epic Fight Scenes: 
In one standout moment, Eddie uses NZT to recall every fight scene he’s ever seen (from movies, TV, and real life) to take down a group of thugs in a subway brawl, combining martial arts and improvisation with razor-sharp reflexes.
4. Strategic Manipulation
Eddie navigates high-stakes situations, like negotiating with dangerous loan sharks and outwitting a Russian mobster, Gennady, by leveraging his enhanced charisma and psychological insight. He even turns the tables on threats to his life with clever traps.
5. Hyper-Observant Problem Solving
He solves problems with insane attention to detail, like figuring out how to escape a locked apartment or deducing a murder mystery by noticing subtle clues others miss, such as a smudge on a glass.
6. Charismatic Reinvention
 Eddie transforms from a disheveled loser into a polished, confident figure, charming everyone from landlords to elite socialites. He even wins back his ex-girlfriend Lindy with his newfound wit and poise.
7. Endgame PQRST Speed Run & Power Play
 
Eddie’s final moves involve outsmarting Van Loon and securing his future, using NZT’s strategic foresight to stay steps ahead in a world of power and deception.
Eddie’s NZT-fueled feats make him a mix of Sherlock Holmes, Tony Stark, and a high-stakes con artist—pretty damn cool!
