Tampa Bay Times - Steve Persall
For two hours it's a fun head trip.

Entertainment Weekly - Owen Gleiberman
In Limitless, a potently fanciful and fun thriller about a drug that turns you into a genius, Cooper proves a cock-of-the-walk movie star.
80
Arizona Republic - Bill Goodykoontz
Some of its conceits may not hold up under intense scrutiny, but, generally speaking, it's a good time at the movies.
80
Chicago Reader - J.R. Jones
Some might call this movie a step backward after Burger's previous feature, the painfully honest Iraq war drama "The Lucky Ones," but as a stylish intrigue it's hard to beat.
75
Chicago Tribune - Michael Phillips
Almost all of it works as wish-fulfillment fantasy.
