Limitless - 8/10
A thoroughly captivating and somewhat original movie. What it does very successfully is take you in several different directions without really revealing what it's true intentions are. It really was highly unpredictable and therefore, a piece of sublime story telling.
As for the individual performances, Cooper's star is on a meteoric rise and this absolutely justified based on this outing. There's no real need to comment on de Niro's performance as he's almost always flawless and this no exception.
I guess you might say this movie is the love child of Trainspotting and Wall Street and is proof that big budget Hollywood doesn't just produce dumbed-down, contrived, crowd pleasing shite.
