9 Terrible Movie Characters Who Really Should Have Been Cut

5. Carl Van Loon - Limitless

Limitless Most of you may be surprised to see Robert De Niro on the list, even if he is phoning in roles at this point in his career. Playing opposite Bradley Cooper as a yuppie using 100% of his brain thanks to miracle drug NZT, the film is by no means a bad one - great aspects remain inside a good film, competent performances, even the palate of the film goes from grey to gold once the pill is activated. My biggest criticism, and most crushing disappointment with this film remains: how can you possibly include a De Niro character and not have him take the pill?
