(2012) [Trailer]
Director: David Cronenberg [IMDB]
Synopsis: The guy from Twilight is a deranged billionaire business man who works out of a limo.
It's nice to see Cronenberg returning back to form (after A Dangerous Method) with his newest installment Cosmopolis. He hired on Robert Pattinson, who you know from Twilight, to take the lead and he does an alright job I guess. This film is really out there and definitely not for everyone. It's strange, hard to follow at times, and doesn't really have a strong plot. That said... it's pretty cool for what it is, but it could have been better.
A lot of the dialogue is extremely scripted and didn't seem natural at all. There were a couple of moments where it stood out badly, maybe it was the performance of the material at those moments, but it seemed off.
The front end and middle of Comopolis were so-so, but it really hit a high note for me at the back end of the film... especially the scenes with Paul Giamatti.
If I were to compare it to something... it'd be like if eXistenZ hooked up with American Psycho.
