   Not sure how you couldn't love this dazzling ride. But maybe it's one of those I need to have ingested a psychedelic some time in one's life. Anyways The Hangover's Bradley Cooper triumphs again in this unpredictable thriller about an underground drug that happens to vastly enhance cognition. So strap in and get ready to enjoy a great, wild mind-blower, complete with Robert De Niro as an arch Wall Street villain.
   Loved it. A major wow.… Expand

   First of all this is really good film. secondly when the guy says at the beginning we only use 20% of our brains that's not actually true. that's just a myth. we use 100%. thirdly the ending sucked. to me it seemed like they tried to cut it short or ran out of ideas. this is a shame because if it went on for another hour and ended differently it would of been better. over all really good film, and i loved the music by the black keys.… Expand

   Limitless while not being amazing has enough going for it to be entertaining and worth recommending. The story while being a little too familiar in science fiction was told in an original way and the cast gave good performances. I enjoyed the use of colour schemes in the movie and the dynamic use of the camera positioning and shots were interesting and effective. The movie did stay predictable throughout and unfortunately the ending of the film was not much of a surprise, something that is a little disappointing as there was more potential to this movie. Limitless is worth a watch. Recommended… Expand

   Limitless is about Eddie Morra (Bradley Cooper) a designer drug addict who goes from being a poor writer to becoming a stock-broker, top-criminal, CEO, drug-producer to presidential candidate and everything in between because of the drug he takes. (And television shows he watched as a teenager) Oh, he also gets the girl of his life. A girl that didn't want him when he was poor and stupid. True love. Actually, he's still stupid at the end of the movie but just stupid with a whole lot of psuedo-smart tagged on. Kind of like how you'd describe this movie. The director, who is obviously not a very intelligent person, tried to best depict how us intelligent people function and what we would do. When you're trying to convince the viewer that he's watching someone with a "4-digit-IQ" you better have some darn good writing ready to suspend some serious disbelief. Limitless doesn't have that writing. In fact, they could have left the drugs out and it'd be an interesting story about a gangster with political aspirations rather than a science-fiction story about a lying, thieving, adulterating nobody who seems to come out on top no matter what happens. Did I call it science-fiction? I meant to write just fiction. There's not much science to any of it and even the fiction is barely holding together with plotholes so large you could fit a methadone clinic through. Eddie's superpowers were so ridiculously mundane at times and completely impossible at others that it made me wonder if anyone with an IQ of above 100 ever proof-read the script. Perhaps everyone thinks that's what it likes to be intelligent? It's not. Like someone on IMDB wrote "If you have 20% stupid and turn that into a 100%, you still have only stupid". This movie will insult your intelligence.… Expand
