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

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

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.

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.

It was a little far fetched but very enjoyable all the same.
Yes, can see the 1st part, but not sure about the politics.

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.

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?

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.

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