Highly Overrated But Still Good

A Masterpiece!

Great movie. Not sure what people expected but I found it highly entertaining.

Limitless is a good film but not great because it becomes a generic action movie after a while when the potential could have been a lot more. The story is about a writer suffering from a terrible case of writer's block and some personal life issues to boot. He is offered a sort of wonder-pill which does wonders, and he is not only able to get over his block but do some great things also. He demands more of this pill and gets sucked into a cesspool of crime and danger. Bradley Cooper is likeable enough to carry this film (He's pretty much the only consistent character) and De Niro gets a moment to spout some cool stuff. The special effects deserve a mention and there is some stunning infinite zoom scenes especially the opener. Plus, the entire film has a kind of kinetic or synthetic energy which is rather cool.

Overall plot of the movie was very good but I wasn't expecting this simple end. I still don't get the answer to what will happen when he will be out of pills? His brain works so bad, can't he just manufacture himself? Maybe the guy in the lab which was shut down should do something I guess.

I llike the movie and i feel i need this tablet to move on sane like actor

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.
