10 Most Annoying Movie Plot Holes Ever
10. Limitless - Morra’s Memory
There are a number of things that make Limitless a less than perfect film. It only takes a quick google of the phrase ‘Limitless plot holes’ to reveal a whole host of articles and Reddit threads dedicated to expressing audiences’ chargrin with the film’s problems.
The most egregious in-film oversight comes from Bradley Cooper’s Eddie Morra, and his nonsensically unreliable memory. We’re not talking about the ‘time skip’, but instead the fact that he apparently completely forgets to pay back a huge loan, thus causing himself a world of problems.
This is a highly intelligent man who, in his drugged up state, is able to remember bits of information he glanced at twenty years earlier but somehow he isn’t able to remember a simple loan due-date? It’s not that he couldn’t afford it either, he quickly turns around millions of dollars worth of profit on his initial loan amount, and he could have simply cashed out what he owed as soon as he got it and delivered it in a gift wrapped box to loan-shark Gennady.
Unfortunately this isn’t what happened, and instead a whole load of unnecessary drama unfolds because apparently the world’s smartest man can’t keep track of a diary. Disappointing.
