Limitless

Loopholes detract from this conceptually intriguing, visually creative, fast-paced film, which is based on the novel The Dark Fields, about a divorced, down-and-out writer (Bradley Cooper) in New York City whose chance meeting with his former brother in-law (Johnny Whitworth) nets him an untested, mind-enhancing drug that jeopardizes his relationship with a comely editor (Abbie Cornish) and leads to a lavish lifestyle and one-in-a-million job with a high-power businessman (Robert DeNiro) while suffering from the drug's dangerous effects and the unwanted attention of a Russian loan shark (Andrew Howard).
