Christy Lemire
You could pick the script apart for impossibilities. But why bother? It's much more enjoyable to shut your brain off and have a good time.
David Jenkins
It's scatty and fast paced, and director Neil Burger employs some Gaspar Noé-style, bad-trip CG effects to heighten the mood.
David Denby
Very limited, actually.
Peter Rainer
What would you do if you could take a pill and suddenly access 100 percent of your brain power? This is the premise behind Limitless, a sci-fi thriller that looks as if its makers utilized around 30 percent of theirs.
Mark Jenkins
The filmmakers doesn't sweat the fact that Eddie is a chemically enhanced fraud. What scares them is any possibility of alienating the movie's target audience with a downer ending.
Rick Groen
Add it all up, including the nifty twist at the end, and what we have here is a fun Hollywood flick with a good head on its shoulders.

Pretty good It was alright. Not amazing but definitely original. I liked it. It. Was pretty good.
Good watch This a good movie with a engaging plot (don't expect it to be mind boggling, I found it to be more down to earth and straightforward action/drama flick than your inception/matrix is)- may lead to some fun hypothetical discussions :-) Interesting movie which I thoroughly enjoyed.
A roadkill of a Movie Robert DeNiro revamped his role from Meet the Fockers into a boring lifeless role. And the moment that it felt like his ability to be a onscreen threat to the lead, the writer's had him sent away like a scolded dog with it's tail between it's legs. A sad use of his talent. As for the overall movie, it felt less like a thriller and more like some junkie trying to justify his addiction. I got really, really tired of listening to Cooper crying for his fix every two or three minutes of the movie. The only thing I could not predect in this 'thriller' (and i use the term loosely) is how much I would reget the time I lost watching this movie when I could have been watching paint dry and would have been more entertained.
Stimulating and entertaining. Who hasn't wondered what they could do if they could more efficiently use their brains? Not be someone else, but be the best you that is possible. Great story, good acting.
great movie! This movie is awesome. Theirs a few minor things that bother me about what he didn't do after taking the pills which i feel like would be common sense to anyone with a brain let alone someone that's limitless, but overall great movie!
To be better... The torture of almost... brought to heel by the power of what if. Who hasn't wished to be faster, more intelligent? And if offered the certainty of seeing clearly... wouldn't you take it?
Reflects the Risks of a Gamble Very thought out and well made. I was right there with him but also outside yelling "don't do it!" Bradley Cooper is very fun to watch.
Definitely worth watching! This movie made me appreciate Bradley Cooper more. After "The Hangover" and "A-frame", I wasn't expecting much, but he's a far better actor than I expected. Enjoy!
Huh? Bogus reviews... When I put no comment, some dumb fake review text appears next to my name. Good movie though. Love Bradley Cooper
Limited Interesting premise. Last half of the film really seems to have been a rush job. The further the story progressed, the more holes seemed to appear. Despite some glaring flaws in the logic behind some of the character's behavior, the fillmore still entertaining enough to merit 3 stars.
High Energy Great film that keeps your curiosity pegged at Max. Intense with a few moments of dull. Watch this one!
A Favorite Really good movie. Sad that people rate it badly because the site they try to play it on had issues.
awsome movie i really liked this movie had a little twists here and there but all in all a good movie to watch recomended to anyone
Great Movie Acted well, interesting plot, somehow - surprisingly action packed, very good ending, I highly recommend it.
