Robert did a great job acting but the story made no sense, the dialog was hard to follow. Speak in plain terms already! Sorry. Not even worth a redbox rental.

This movie is about control. There's the control of others through money, sex, and, most importantly, information. The flow of information is constant and it's never completely transparent, even to someone with the means to have it all. Those who believe they can wield it, get drawn in, lose site of their lives and strive to control it at all costs. Well, I didn't much care for some portions of the premise of this movie, but it sure does play well from scene to scene. It is funny and mesmerizing. Pattinson is excellent, though somewhat miscast. I think this character would have been better for an older edgier actor. Still, it's a good movie for those who like social commentary and the wicked word of high finance.

David Cronenberg has made some pivotally powerful films ("Eastern Promises", "History of Violence") but "Cosmopolis" does not flirt or touch the legitimacy of his past movies... A dark, senseless "awakening" in a materialistic, capitalistic "cosmos"; billionaire "Eric Packer" spends a day in a white stretch limousine (technologically equipped), visited by staff, girlfriends, financial advisers, even his doctor; while watching his portfolio shrink into oblivion; his car massacred by disgruntled, frustrated mobs; his wife of few weeks, regains her senses, abandons him. He is an emotionally bereft cad; undeserving of a modicum of empathy... Minor roles, depicted by major actors (Amy Morton, Juliette Binoche, Paul Giamatti) could not save this platitudinous prattle from sinking into a mire of murky melodrama... ONE & 1/2 STARS!! ***For full review please visit peneflix (dot) com!!!

This movie is a trip. Your brain will never be the same. Just don't give up on it. Stay till the end and let it sink in. You will probably want to see it again. Wow...
