Solemplex To me, this movie is perfection.
Stometer Save your money for something good and enjoyable
TrueHello Fun premise, good actors, bad writing. This film seemed to have potential at the beginning but it quickly devolves into a trite action film. Ultimately it's very boring.
Kimball Exactly the movie you think it is, but not the movie you want it to be.
singersongwriter-06857 I really enjoyed this movie and Robert De Niro was especially good in my opinion. Lots of great acting and action and the suspense was really there. The only problem I had with it was: why did he need a $100k loan from the Russian loan shark? He turns a little money into several thousand in a few days by "quintupling it" in the stock market but he only has a few thousand now. But if he"quintupled" this principal every few days, he would have $100k in no time at all. I fail to see why he needed to risk his life with a loan shark to get money he could have made in the market relatively quickly at the rate he was going. I suppose it was because the film needed the baddies.Other than that, I really liked it. Bradley Cooper is awesome!
adigeah When I learned bradley coper's dad was terminal cancer during the cast and because of it the limitless were shot in the centre which his father was treated.Also, he wasn't reflect that matter to film stages, What a professionality! I wish I had a kind of a drug to be a clever man like that for passing all kind of exams in this life.
muvi-fan-73 It's obvious that when I first watched the movie, I enjoyed it way too much more then second or third time or so. Sometimes I wonder does that happen because of the factors I don't know or what. Still from what I have rated it tells us how much I have liked the movie. Although I would like to put light on, the general myth in which even Einstein believed that we don't use cent percent of our brains. Furthermore, avoiding that and looking at entertainment type and level and given concept even if untrue this movie is phenomenal.Direction, Screenplay, Cinematography: The on screen effects while being at terrace of building and looking through pathway passing along streets, along with event recall after taking a NZT, are tremendous. If you are on certain drug that helps you act superiorly in some way - you can totally relate to it.Tone: Movie is set in tone where a person using 20 percent of his brain starts using hundred percent of his brain. It is a thriller executed nicely. You stay glued to your seat.Acting: Acting is average.Highly recommended.
oragex A 7/10 just because the idea behind the scenario is great but someone wrecked the scenario in the process.TONS of spoilers, be aware.The film starts rather acceptable with a 'plausible' plot in the beginning, and for the first 1/3 it's quite well put together. But then it starts incorporating elements - such as the Russian guys, or the erratic love story in distress, or even worst, the illogical death of the modeling girl. The illogical evens just keep going with Eddie not being investigated for the death of Vernon when he was just in the room with the dead body. He makes $12k in a week which logarithmically speaking would have brought him close to $100k in a month and beyond millions in a year so no need to get in trouble with shady people for a 'loan'. More, as mentioned by other reviews, the Russian mafia guy doesn't get his money back, even when Eddie just made 2 million in ten days or so.Then, the more the movie approaches the end, the more they want us to believe many/most/all successful people must also be on this pill. This trashes the movie even more because the movie stands up and it's credible on the initial basis that Eddie was among very few people who had access to the pill. Like we need to trust the story, or if actually many people were on the pill, how comes Eddie was so quickly successful and that was a surprise for everybody? Finally, the way he puts Van Loon at his place is pathetic after during the whole story Van Loon was about the most powerful and fierce businessmen in the room. And then, just to put the cherry on the sundae, we learn that he can actually even see the future.The story plot could have been just as simple as Eddie making a pile of cash out of stock market, then he would have went back to his ex and blind her with all the dough and stuff, go out with her at a nice restaurant and end of the story, everybody's happy - including myself. But no, some bulb head had to mess with the script and make the film look just like a Picasso painting.
