Review of Limitless (2011) by Kamera24 — 28 Aug 2011
I have to say that I was genuinely excited about the subject of the movie starring a rising star( Cooper) and a old-timey one(De Niro). Ultimately the movie fell flat not to mention the stupidity of the ultimate scene, it should be noted that the movie failed due to screenplay.
Uneven, filled with holes and lacking realism, it proves to be underwhelming specially in contrast to the directing. The high-point of Limitless are the incredible shots provided by Neil Burger and Jo Willems used to describe the effect of the drug or the sensational lingering non stop zooms of New York City.
Another positive point is Bradley Cooper's transformation from a failing unsure of himself writer to a brilliant and **** trader, Cooper shows range as well as emotion as the title character. The rest of the cast is quite unmemorable, filled with uninteresting as well as pointless characters.
Limitless could have been a great movie if so many details wouldn't have been overlooked : an unfinished script, failure to find material for the supporting characters and a let's start writing the sequel ending.
