A while back I heard that David Cronenberg was coming out with a new movie starring Robert Pattinson. I was shocked that Cronenberg would even cast Pattinson in a movie but didn't mind it after seeing Pattinson's performance in Water for Elephants. So last week I had the pleasure of seeing this movie. I've let the movie soak in now for a few days and even though I'm still trying grasp the whole idea of the movie I really enjoyed it. Pattinson was great in it and showed a lot of range in his acting skills. I think he just purposely acts bad in those damn Twilight movies. The movie is a whole lot of talking not at all like Cronenberg's more recent flicks ( A History of Violence or Eastern Promises) It's more like his earlier work like Videodrome where your left thinking "what the hell did I just watch?" A lot of the dialogue went over my head and sometimes I found myself being completely lost. I really wish Cronenberg would have thrown in some subtitles, all the dialogue was at times hard to keep up with. The plot of the movie is very simple Pattinson's character Eric Packer is a young billionaire who is being driven around his limo across Manhattan to get a haircut. Weird plot but the events that take place while he's going across town to get a haircut are even weirder. I say if you want to watch something that will make you leave the theater scratching your head then watch it if after watching a movie and saying the words"what the fuck" doesn't sound good to you then skip it.
Look at the trailer and decide for yourself. And yes there are tittays shown in this flick!
