Notes et avis

Robert DeNiro revamped his role from Meet the Fockers into a boring lifeless role. And the moment that it felt like his ability to be a onscreen threat to the lead, the writer's had him sent away like a scolded dog with it's tail between it's legs. A sad use of his talent. As for the overall movie, it felt less like a thriller and more like some junkie trying to justify his addiction. I got really, really tired of listening to Cooper crying for his fix every two or three minutes of the movie. The only thing I could not predect in this 'thriller' (and i use the term loosely) is how much I would reget the time I lost watching this movie when I could have been watching paint dry and would have been more entertained.

What a succinct definition of genius Limitless offers: "Knowing what to do and doing it." I'll rate this movie per my eggs, mushrooms and challah bread breakfast. Makes as much sense as viewers who issued a single star for the movie because the film played poorly on their particular Internet service. Please rate the film and not your Internet service! 104 minutes was just right for this entertaining movie. Though I wouldn't mind 90 minutes sans the chase scenes.

We've all wondered exactly what we'd do with the ability to more efficiently use our brain and this movie does us all a favor and takes things to the next level. Bradley Cooper does an excellent job, definitely better than his usual comedic stuff like "The Hangover". Overall, it's become one of my favorites.
