‘Limitless’ an unleashed thriller

Bradley Cooper and Abbie Cornish are shown in a scene from “Limitless.” (Associated Press)
Philadelphia Inquirer

Available this week on DVD:

“Limitless”: Bradley Cooper stars as a deadbeat New York writer who takes an experimental drug that sets his brain firing on all cylinders in this exhilarating thriller, directed with rocket-propelled, fractal-zoom ingenuity by Neil Berger. Abbie Cornish and Robert De Niro co-star. (1:45; PG-13 for thematic material involving a drug, violence including disturbing images, sexuality and language) • • • 1/2

“Take Me Home Tonight”: Topher Grace stars as an aimless college grad lying his way through a one-crazy-night scenario in order to impress his secret high school crush. A sloppy comedy that looks as cheesy and out of date as the 1980s era it aspires to celebrate. (1:54; R for language, sexual content and drug use) • 1/2

“Potiche”: When her husband is taken hostage by striking employees, a trophy wife (Catherine Deneuve) takes the reins of the family business with the help of her old beau (Gerard Depardieu). (1:43; R for some sexuality)
