"Look at me! I got a haircut. Now I can screw hot chicks and make megabucks trading stocks!" Uhm. "Limitless" sure would've benefited from someone limiting the storyline. It goes here, there and everywhere - essentially going nowhere. The concept is great, but a bland romance ("uh, now you're using your ENTIRE BRAIN - let's get back together!"), endless subplots, weak villains and a horrible script featuring dialogue of absurd banality ensures that it outstays its welcome within the first hour.

I actually thought this had a lot of potential based on the premise and the flashy camerawork at the beginning. And it was a fun ride for most of it, as Eddie gains success while sealing his inevitable downfall. But then a couple grotesque / contrived scenes ruined the tension and gave the audience the mandatory happy ending to a character that probably didn't deserve one.

Starts off ok (and with ok I don't mean it's necessarily good) and then after 30 minutes or so it becomes a huge mess. The makers probably thought that, if you include these things (hot sexeh guy, sexeh gurls, sexy scenes, exotic location, money, a well known 'badass' actor, 'neverbeendonebefore editing' and re-using the 'neverdonebefore editing', useless chase scene, difficult words, shooting, cars etc) the film will be a success. They're wrong. Gotta admit though, Cooper's dead sexy

I found the premise of this film to be a real iffy one. The filmmakers would have to walk a very fine line to keep it from being insultingly moronic. Impressively enough, I left Limitless unsure whether it was great or mediocre. That and a fresh approach that feels like they at least really tried earned it some brownie points, but too many times I found myself shaking my head at the screen. Slick and snazzy fun for sure, but drinking blood and using a child with ice-skates as a weapon? No. No.

A smug git nearly chokes to death on his own smoke gittiness, but in the end he's so fucking smug that even that can't kill him. Some nice visual effects that show how being really clever means you have completely disorientating visual and auditory hallucinations that would make you fall over and puke in any other circumstances.

Lazy writing, by the first voiceover you already know that it's going to suck. "this is me, i'm a loser, look at my hair lol." They basically just made a movie about adderall and failed miserably. It's just so boring but yet they try to keep you interested with quick cuts and pointless subplots that ultimately go nowhere. Who could've predicted that De Niro would eventually become film cancer? Guy is a joke in this.

The best part is the bit with TV Carpio in the apartment hallway, where Cooper's out of his mind on his new drug and talks to her so furiously and earnestly that he ends up seducing her. I wanted more of that. What happens instead simply isn't interesting. He's been given a pill that gives him all this brain power, and he uses it to insert himself into the middle of a boring, vaguely defined Wall Street merger? Big whoop, dude. How did a movie with a premise like this end up so bland?

Far-fetched? If twenty years ago you had suggested to me the possibility of something like Sildenafil, or even Minoxidil, I probably would have been skeptical, so what do I know? The film is light-hearted fun: the ethical unconcern of the protagonist and notably non-moralistic conclusion may well have bothered some audiences, but to this viewer these characteristics seemed to signal a willingness to avoid pandering to conventional expectations, and were thus greeted with welcome surprise.

Absolutely atrocious writing. The idea that the smartest person in the world would be motivated primarily by money is a stretch in itself. But even if we believe this the film shows he could earn several billion dollars within weeks trading for himself, yet quits to apply for a job in private equity or investment banking that pays a tiny fraction of what he was on track to make as a trader in a much shorter time. Asinine like the rest of the film.

Bradley Cooper jumps off a cliff & has an idea, but we never really learn what that idea is? But it involves playing the stock market with a formula based on rumours, that works by... well we're not told that either! I initially gave this a 35, as a very bland, but easy watch. But the more I thought about this movie, the more I was struck by what a lazy piece of filmmaking it is. The concept has so much potential, but Burger boils it down to idiotic standards. The script is fucking awful too!

Cooper is likeable and it's no fault of his that the movie fails. There are two main flaws: 1) the script is, apart from the potentially fascinating premise, weak - one of many problems being very little conflict and 2) Burger's film is not nearly as cool nor as smart as he seems to think it is. It's one of those films that keeps your attention while watching it, only to disintegrate shortly afterwards. What lingers is the stupidity (child blades-"plan", the story's frame). A wasted opportunity.

Early on, Bradley Cooper as the loser is good, I'll say that. But once his character got the brain pill, this movie made me angrier and angrier. So he's a super-genius, but all he can think to do is to get rich and get laid? How about doing good with his new brain power? Help people? Solve world problems? Nope. And it's not just Cooper. It doesn't seem to occur to ANY of these geniuses to do anything remotely unselfish. This film is utterly materialistic. No moral dimension whatever.

Limitless is fun for a while, but ultimately wears thin while trying to do too much, yet never saying anything about its primary gimmick, drugs. It doesn't take a firm stance on anything that it contains. Its characters aren't well developed, with both De Niro and Cornish having little to do with their far-too-small roles, although I didn't mind Bradley Cooper providing us with narration. It's somewhat enjoyable, but it needed something more to make it absolutely worthwhile.

The pseudoscience is particularly dumb but this was surprisingly good. The reason I like the film is that self-destruction didn't result from seemingly self-destructive means. Doesn't make sense, and neither does the idea that euphoria and a greater mental aptitude would result in a healthier, more functional person...but whatever.

For all the potential that was available to the basic concept, which wasn't very unique to begin with, it was pathetically wasted at every single possible moment. Even if we disregard the offensively clichéd set-up, the scientifically illiterate script, the blatantly predictable plot, and the weakly written characters, there's still practically no redeeming values to speak of. Is there a pill that will make me forget I saw this? Cyanide, perhaps?

Quite decent scifi. After watching it, I can't get rid of the idea the writers could have done so much more with this idea. The movie starts interesting, even mysterious, with some good camerawork and some nice usage of colours to support every feeling in this film, but then again.. The pace was too slow and the movie got stuck in the same unending spiral the viewer (and main character) kept going through. Liked Cooper and De Niro though.

Flashy, but disgustingly shallow story about an equally shallow guy who gets hold of a magic pill that changes his life. It looks and sounds pretty impressive, but the message is a celebration to all things shallow and material and the ending only emphasizes that even more. Like American Psycho without any humor. But at least I didn't have to see Shia Labeouf doing his character again (because he has only one).

Y'know, I like Bradley Cooper, I'll give pretty much anything he's in at least a pass. And that's what this one gets, it gets a pass and a little better. It explores a cool idea (the idea that we can only access/employ a certain percentage of our brains), but only on the surface. Doesn't go into huge depths. I think it's worth seeing, if for nothing else, to take every opportunity to watch Robert de Niro on screen. It doesn't matter what he's in or is doing. It's Robert de Niro. Go see it. Now.

I sometimes think about what I would wish for if I had 3 wishes. I wouldn't want anything too flashy or fantastical as I wouldn't want to draw attention to myself in that way. This movie introduced me to the first decent portrayal of how an enhanced intelligence might work in a believable, non-cartoonish way. And that would be one of my wishes, for sure. Film itself isn't that great on it's own merit, but it has enough of the pieces in the right place to make it memorably good.

The problem with writing a character that is smart beyond belief is that the writer would need to write a screenplay to match that intellect. Instead, with its first-person voice-over that drops in and out and predictable twists, 'Limitless' feels amateur. One-dimensional characters appear and disappear without real effect. The voice-over is irritatingly bad and unnecessary. The ending throws in one more twist that is so useless, it leaves you sour. 'Limitless' has complete lack of consequence.

Pretty entertaining film. It takes a good idea and runs with it, using some fancy camera-tricks and a good effort by Bradley Cooper. It perhaps is a bit too ambitious in some areas, but that's at least a miscalculation in film making I can forgive. The ending sells out a bit and there is a somewhat forced romance subplot, but it's Hollywood and those aren't exactly a surprise. Worth a watch.

NZT48, the designer pharmaceutical drug featured in "Limitless", is supposedly able to increase a person's brain usage to one hundred percent. However, I'm not sure this is accurate since we never see the protagonist control time, matter or people. At one hundred percent usage, he should have been capable of doing these things. I know this for a fact because Morgan Freeman told me about it in a trailer for another movie.

This film could have been truly awesome but the end was weak. I was convinced that, when DeNiro appears towards the end, there was going to be some epic twist of Long Good Friday/ Layer Cake proportions. There should have been. But instead it was all too easy. Man gets magic pill, wins at life. End. Why bother with the murder side story if you don't conclude it? Why spend the entire middle section of the film worrying about side effects and then ignore them at the end?

Limitless is nothing more then what is shown in the trailer. It is about Eddie Morra who gets his hands on a drug that allows him to access his entire brain and become whatever he wants to be. Cooper does a fine job in the lead role, but Limitless does not stray from the path that we could easily predict it going on. It is too simple at times, but it is still good for what it is. It is a hard film to review because it is too simple, but yet it is still good.

A neat and fun concept, but the acting/plot is nothing superb and by the end of the movie you're not quite sure if anything has really been accomplished. The movie should've focused more on the rivalry with Robert Deniro's character as well as how the main character managed to supposedly get off his addiction, and maybe a bit more about how being super rich and/or smart would distance a person from others.

Potentially fascinating premise is handled as a more conventional thriller, but unpleasant characters (starting with Cooper's smarmy, obnoxious lead) makes it difficult to care much about the plot as it unfolds. Works best in its 2nd half after an over-extended sequence of Cooper revelling in his new lifestyle; Burger uses neat directorial tricks to show the inner workings of Cooper's mind, but film never really catches fire. De Niro shows he still has it, albeit in a limited supporting role.

Interesting concept, and I loved the directing & cinematography. Bradley Cooper's great, and I really enjoyed Andrew Howard as the Russian. The ending seemed to come together much neater than it should have given all that we were told leading up to it. Also, I don't see how the grand plan he mentioned when starting the drug was what he wound up doing in the end; there were no clues along the way that that was even in his mind. Still, a good movie worth a watch.

The biggest problem is that it's obvious that this is fiction, because otherwise the writers would have popped a pill and written something that was actually coherent. Terrible pacing and full of plot holes but it is an interesting concept and a watchable pastime. DeNiro's character, in his small role, basically serves to point out everything wrong with the script.

Super well shot. While Limitless has some solid acting and writing throuhout it is really the way it is shot that is most impressive. Cooper is solid as is De Niro and the script is smart and clever at times. Nothing in those departments is exceedingly fantastic, but honestly it all adds up to a pretty good film.

if only the director had taken a few NZT we might have something here. That being said the screenplay, though good at times and an interesting premise, has some significant plot holes and leaves a plenty to be desired. Bradley Cooper does a decent job, but there's really nothing remarkable about any of the work in this movie.

Everyone wants to be in a situation like this. A get out of jail free card, easy mode in life, so to speak. That is why these movies are oh so enjoyable.

It's very flashy and sort of entertaining throughout its running time, but at the end it left a bad taste in my mouth.

"Limitless" oozes with energy, both a pro and a con for me: it's really vivid although not in the aesthetically satisfactory way that an Edgar Wright film (eg Scott Pilgrim) is vivid. Cooper is agreeable but far from great and is backed up by a rather unremarkable supporting cast including Bob De Niro, who seems rather bored in a smaller part than the poster would indicate. Still there's plenty of solid action and both the strong main idea and the visual fervor keep things comfortably above par.

A man takes a drug that makes him acheive his full potential. The villians want the drug. There is a chase or two. All in all, not half as bad as they'd like you to think.

Idee ist ganz gut, Effekte sehr hübsch und im Grunde ein ganz netter Film. Leider bleiben ein paar Fragen offen (oder werden ungenügend beantwortet) und am Ende bleibt ein fader Beigeschmack nach Drogen-Verharmlosung, frei nach dem Motto "Meth wäre an sich eine gute Sache wenn man die Nebenwirkungen verringer könnte".

Bycie SZTUCZNYM Bogiem ma swoje zalety. Przydaloby mi sie to do jednej rzeczy, ale chyba w niczym wiecej nie widzialbym tego. Po polknieciu jednej tabletki wszystko przewraca sie jak domino. Dla niektorych w sensie pozytywnym dla innych raczej nie(ale dla tych co nie to tylko jakis 0000,1% uczciwych) wiekszosc bez mrugniecia okiem polknelaby. (hehe dziwnie mi ten wpis wyszedl)

Awesome movie! I'd expected more of a straightforward action movie, so to get the thriller aspect, which was not so straightforward and not quite predictable, was quite a nice surprise. Bradley Cooper's good looks definitely helped, but the story and its pace were very well executed. A definite must-see.

The idea and output were nice. I also liked the experimental editing. Some rewritings would improve story a lot since there was some unpleasant holes. A fine entertainment though.

Was actually a decent movie until about the halfway point, then things go downhill quickly. The scene where Ed drinks blood to get his fix was hilarious.

This was sort of interesting. It's hard to say if I really liked it or not. It felt like the Matrix a little bit just because every time he took one of these pills he was able to learn things really quickly like languages or how to use martial arts. Cooper did a good job in this but I felt like Robert De Niro didn't want to be in this movie. I thought Abbie Cornish was delightful and was really awesome because she used a small child wearing ice skates as a weapon. A pretty average film.

If Bradley Cooper's character was so smart, then why did he make one dumb, bad decision after another for almost the whole movie? His character was an unlikeable moron.

If you can get past the dopey setup (human brain, small percentage, unlocking potential, initiate eyerolling), the premise itself is interesting and pretty well thought through, especially for blatant wish-fulfilment. It's fun if just to see what it would be like to have a perfect memory and no social neuroses from the perspective of someone experiencing those things for the first time. And it has other good qualities (brisk pacing, visual inventiveness, it's unpredictable) so I was entertained.

The idea behind this was great, but some parts just felt a bit too thin. A fun watch nonetheless.
