Good movie, but best of all time? Hardly . . .

At first rather annoying in its heavy emphasis on reenactments, this movie ultimately proves fascinating, simply because the complicated, highly dramatic tale it tells still almost defies belief.

The thing I enjoyed most about the film is the fact that it doesn't shy away from being a super-sized-cliche;

This is a small, humorous movie in some ways, but it has a huge heart. What a nice experience.

I thought the premise had potential and the film set up some interesting situations to play out. But then it forgot to play them out. Did the budget run out two-thirds of the way through? The thread about the pills making you dead or braindead disappeared unresolved. The thread about his friend's murder disappeared unresolved. The Russian gangster thread was wrapped up with a physical fight, in a movie about using super-intelligence to outwit others. And the corporate merger thread wrapped up with some verbal sparring in the final minutes.With a half-decent ending, this could have been an above-average movie overall. As is, it's worthless garbage.

Limitless is an ambitious movie with one of the most riveting concepts in recent time. The concept coupled with superb acting by Bradley Cooper and truly mesmerizing cinematography lead to an enjoyable movie. However, the film has shortcomings specifically in its storyline that prevents it from reaching its full potential. The movie starts off great but the plot derails midway due to an overly predictable straightforward storyline, despite the predictability it still has some suspenseful moments that make you not want to look away from your screen. Overall the film provides quality entertainment and has a concept that will keep you intrigued throughout the movie.

Please forget the TV series. I think that fans care about Eddie Morra in the first place. We all wanna see how the sequel goes on with Eddie, Carl and Lindy. Like we saw at the end of the first movie, Lindy started taking NZT too. Best part of Limitless is the story about the pill and success. Furthermore, Paul Leonard-Morgan had made excellent job with the soundtrack and of course the visual effects fits perfectly with that movie. We all wanna see more of it. Is there some rumours about the second movie?

The movie is great and the actors play really well. I like Bradley Cooper and his acting was pretty nice. Jumping deep in the review of some points. These kind of drug in the movie, doesn't really exists as far as I know, but there is a medicine called Ritalin, that increases the focus, but this stuff is only for people who have problem of focus, so a doctor would give you a prescription. One interesting point about the drug thing, is that, you can't just turn your back in the drug. You can't just stop and that is it. I myself take a medicine, witch all of you should know, medicines are drugs too, so in my case, I take a specific prescription for years that I cant just stop, or else I will have side effects. Drugs, all of them, medicine or not, have side effects even if you can't really notice. There is no magic pill that would grant you a very good effect and take nothing of you. What I expected more at the ending of the movie was that this fact could really be there, and Morra himself, addicted, would meet a dead end. It worked really well when shown the side effects, the problems, the other who perished by the use of the drug, but somehow Morra ended up well. Well, at least for the movie ending, but if you think ahead, maybe in 2 years, when he is out of stock, he would just suffer and probably fall. As an illegal substance, even if he could maintain a secret lab for the pills, he would soon or later get discovered. Well, I still think the message was clear. There is no magic thing that could make you god without not taking anything from you.
