I chose to analyze the film Limitless as it is focused on one character, we hope to carry the theme of one character throughout our film trailer. In the film we witness Eddie (Bradley Cooper)aspiring to be a writer who suffers from writing block and as a result he fails to meet his deadline for his new book which he hasn't written. He bumps into his ex-wife's brother and he offers Eddie a sample of a new nootropic NZT 48 which claiming it has the abilty for human to access 100% of their brain power this transforms his life, however Limitless has been crititcised..... However Eddie was in need for more pills and went to go visit Vernon to find him dead in his apartment, he finds Vernons stash of pill and money and uses this to change his life. Eddie becomes rich incredibly fast and employed by a powerful business man Carl Van Loon (Robert De Niro).
It was very hard to find a film magazine that had Limitless as a main cover-line, this was because it was rated lower than films that have been featured as the main cover line for example the film Avatar was rated a 5* so therefore Empire had a main cover line. However Limitless has been rated 4* by Empire. http://www.empireonline.com/reviews/review.asp?FID=137105 Limitless is based on a book The Dark Fields by Leslie Dixon. The genre of Limitless is Action Thriller, however it has been criticised that it doesn't have have certain conventions of a thriller which doesn't attract the audience that it is aimed at.
