Its science fiction premise about the enhanced drug has a gripping start, but it never breaks its limits and loses the dose of suspense when it frequents common places that, as a side effect, make it terribly dull. [Full review in Spanish]

Every generation gets its Boiler Room.

| Original Score: 2/5 | Aug 9, 2023

Limitless is frustrating because there are plenty of compelling ideas at work here, but they’re dumbed down by a screenplay that isn’t capable of being as intelligent as its central character.

| Original Score: 2.5/4 | Jul 31, 2023

Although somewhat limited by the story and, noticeably, the budget, the boundless enthusiasm of its star stops any dullness setting in.

Possesses a unique plot, fascinating concepts, and genuine thrills.

| Original Score: 7/10 | Nov 30, 2020

Cooper is a blast here.

| Original Score: 3.0/4.0 | Sep 14, 2020

Yes, it does have its faults, but I think people will be satisfied with what they get here.

| Original Score: B | Aug 11, 2020

Limitless demonstrates with depressing finality that the power fantasies of adults are much more banal than the power fantasies of children.

Behind the quick wit and instant gratification lies the hot pulse of a crime movie-it has the ingenuity of soft-core Tarantino...

Strictly a no-thinking zone.

| Original Score: 2.5/4 | Jun 7, 2019

This visually dazzling and briskly paced drama is a solid excursion with a strong lead performance from Bradley Cooper, but it never quite delivers on its potential after a first half that suggests bigger and better things.

Limitless emerges as a science fiction film about human intelligence that is not only intelligent but also utterly entertaining and blessed unpretentious.

| Original Score: A- | Feb 16, 2019

With arresting premise, visual and action, it's more than a thrill in a pill.

| Jan 28, 2019

It's hard to believe you'd be squinting at your watch in the dark while two of the most charismatic actors in Hollywood are on the screen in front of you.

| Original Score: 2.5/5 | Jan 8, 2019

Limitless unfolds into an incongruent mess, and like its protagonist, has severely depleted serotonin levels by the time the credits roll.

| Original Score: 2/5 | Dec 14, 2018

Once that buzz starts to wear thin, things become exhausting.

| Original Score: C | Jan 29, 2018

Lots to think about. And I think it's a pretty good movie.

| Jun 29, 2017

The thriller structure of 'Limitless' and its turns that will mark out the course of action, lack the much needed quality of surprise. [Full review in Spanish]

Let's describe Neil Burger's latest as director "Abraham Polonsky's 'The Matrix.'" It's a hyper-local amped-up Manhattan melodrama that pulses through one man's mind, one user's bloodstream.

| Apr 8, 2014

Paradoxically absorbing, yet cliched and empty, this power-based New York story is a bit of an entertaining thrill ride, probably far more popcorn-engrossing than it deserves to be...
