Limitless (2011)

He's not very intelligent

Given that he has a pill which makes him more intelligent, why does he keep making all these elementary slipups?

I thought it was funny to see what Hollywood screenwriters think very intelligent people are like, sort of the more intelligent you get the more of a flim-flam man you turn into, with the ultimate goal of the most intelligent people to become a stockbroker, a US senator, and then the US president.

And very intelligent guys are able to charm angry women into having sex with them in thirty minutes of chat about legal papers, or get invited to beach parties on a plane? Is this what the scriptwriters think, or is it what they think the audience thinks?

Entertaining enough film but frankly it's daft, and the ending? Well it's silly.
