Movie #432 "Limitless" was a real treat to watch --- I loved the premise, the moving camera, the creative shots (like numbers in the ceiling), the acting --- Brad Cooper finally got a good part! and even bloody violent scenes had humor in them. This is smart and its philosophy is "up with smartness" and at what cost? The only reason I didn't give it a 5 out of 5 is because there are just a couple of things that don't hang really well in the script ----- but it probably isn't noticeable, really. I really, really liked this one. Made me want to read the original story it is based on, it's just that good of an idea! And Robert DeNiro was just the whip cream and cherry on the top of the sundae for me! I'll quite now because I have more things to say; in fact, the praise might even be "limitless" ---- sorry for the pun.
I gave it 4 stars
