A creative vision of a film exploring the realms of potential of the human body, this film pushes the full capabilities of the brain and the physical form toward into a highly sought after addiction. Very much a 'what if?' type of film, that is both thought provoking and entertaining. Cooper plays a good role, but De Niro's presence in the film sadly insignificant, taking a backseat place.

The most amazing thing about this film is how much stock is placed on great hair.

Even though Neil Burger set the bar high when he directed The Illusionist this turned out to be better than I expected. It has all the makings of a cheap cash-in to draw in the MTV crowd but Bradley Cooper does a fine job of not being himself and actually acting out a scene or two. In hindsight though I feel like it could've been a much better film if the plot didn't revolve around acquiring material goods and wealth. The potential was there for a Death Note or Monster quality drama.

Apparently no pill can give you common sense.

Top badass moment? Eddie Morra dealing with the thugs at the Subway station. There’s something cool about recalling the details of old martial arts movies in real time, to help you fight in the here and now. Dealing with thugs is badass. If I could recall all the details of every film I’ve watched, I’d be awesome! (There wouldn’t be much point in buying any DVDs though; I’d only need to rent them.) 0 cats and 0 decapitations.

Pretty decent acting, but boring story and - again - a basic idea with far more potential than what has come out of it.

For the first half hour Limitless features genuinely great use of style and direction to engage you, unfortunately the rest of it relies more and more on contrivances and faulty logic. The moral-defying ending seems like a middle finger to traditional Hollywood storytelling and social mores, fitting for such an unscrupulous character.

Silly but fun, if you don't take it seriously. Nice dialogs and visual effects. A bit disappointing by the end, though.

7- recommended, good

I like the idea of it better than the execution. Kudos to the first thing he does after now using 100% of his brain is fuck some guys wife. Well played super genius.

I was sceptical about this one, but it ended up being a pretty cool thriller. It was very Hollywood, very conventionally structured and all that, but that didn’t hinder my enjoyment of it too much. Nothing new, but still fun. The visual effects were pretty nice. I don’t know if I quite buy Bradley Cooper as a leading man, but he did a fine job.

I had to stop watching a few times to gather my will to keep going. So predictable! Ugh.

Intriguing sci-fi thriller that actually managed to surprise me every now and then. The visuals really worked for me and I totally bought the concept. Surprisingly enjoyable.

It’s still unclear to me what people saw in this film other than absolutely mindless entertainment. And I have a hard time even saying that because there was very little that was entertaining about it. It’s fast, colourful and loud. Maybe that held people’s attentions and distracted them from a horrid screenplay.

Boring, gimmicky, based on false pretenses. I'm not sure what to think of the ending, though. It's interesting as it doesn't point to a moral lesson.

A not so limitless movie with a dash of placebo.

Except for how deeply it ponders its central concept, everything about this movie is excessive. But once you get used to turning off your brain (thanks in part to Cooper's narration), it's a decent ride.

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.

Enjoyable if you don't think about it too hard. The blood drinking scene had me roaring with laughter at how comical it looked The suspense that is built up and knocked down in the last 5 minutes just suggests that the writer had no idea what to do with his story so he just knocked up something quick on the bus to the studio.

This movie is alright, considering it rests on the very tired premise that "we only use X percent of our brains." If I had a nickel for ever time someone pitched this totally unscientific sci-fi idea, my financial prospects would be limitless.

"Limitless", for the first half, is an interesting and engaging thriller, once it reaches the halfway point however, it film grows gradually sillier with each scene and becomes monotonous. It's well acted for the most part though and Bradley Cooper is fantastic.

limitless is limited, could have been so much more interesting... a forgettable film

nice time waster with a neat gimmick

A very interesting premise that is mostly wasted. Instead of devling into the sociological issues that one might suffer from always being 10 steps ahead of everyone, the film simply devolves into mindless action. Not a terrible movie, but very disappointing.
