Common Sense Note
Parents need to know that Limitless is set several years after the events of the feature film that inspired it and centers on a mysterious, mind-enhancing drug with addicting powers. (The main character is technically a drug user but uses his abilities to help others, making ethical compromises in pursuit of the greater good.) You'll see some intense moments of violence, including shootings with some blood, as well as light sexual tension between characters. You'll also hear words such as "damn" and "ass."
