Re: Limitless
Saw this yesterday at Holloway Rd. Both my oh and I enjoyed it, especially the cinematography, the soundtrack and the premise (wish I had some of those pills to finish my thesis quickly!). I agree with other reviewers that some plot holes were annoying. 7.5/10

Re: Limitless
Well, I pa*d today and I enjoyed it. Interesting visual elements, some nice comedy, action, ideas, didn't feel the narration impeded on the film and felt a strong Requiem For A Dream vibe throughout, despite clearly being a more family friendly, mass-appeal type movie. DeNiro always looked like he smelt something awful though.
8/10

Re: Limitless
I also saw this at Holloway Road, yesterday. The cinema was small and packed! My oh enjoyed the film more than me and he rated it a 7.5/10, I found the plot a little boring in places but enjoyed Robert De Niro's performance and obviously Bradley Cooper so I rate it a 7/10.

Re: Limitless
i am with KK on page 7. except that as pretty as the film was, and as i don't think of the lead as eye candy, i couldn't make the mental leap of the huge plot holes. my friend called it 'pointless' at the end.
5/10 from me.

Yes, can see the 1st part, but not sure about the politics.lbaxx wrote:I thought he did not die as he had his scientist get rid of all the abnormalities and test out various ways of producing the drug for 2 million dollars. Also I thought he got into politics because he was a genius and had lots of money and power.
It was a little far fetched but very enjoyable all the same.
Re: Limitless
Saw this in Coventry Odeon on Monday. Have to say it was 99% full. Perfectly watchable but have to say pretty disappointing overall. I give it 7/10.

Re: Limitless
this movie WAS totally far fetched, but definitely worth a viewing.... took me a while to recognise Anna Friel! Thought the end was a bit ambiguous, didn't expect it to end the way it did... is that coz there will be a "Limitless 2 " somewhere down the line?

Re: Limitless
I thought this movie was basically an excuse to have two hours of close-ups of Bradley Cooper's spectacular eyes (not that I am complaining!). I actually quite liked the storyline too and some of the camera work was really different and while perhaps a bit epileptic inducing quite fascinating to watch.

Re: Limitless
I liked most of it - but I thought the part where the girlfriend takes the pill was just ridiculous!
