Limitless

Just caught this 2011 flick on Netflix. http://www.imdb.com/title/tt1219289/

The theme features an unmotivated writer who stumbles onto a new drug which enhances the power of his mind. The portrayal of that enhancement is pretty cool, with some special effects that those familiar with hypnotic focus and awareness will appreciate.

In my alternate ending, I would have had the main character engage with a hypnotist, discovering that she (me) was able to induce the same powers in a drug-free way!
