I'd love to know what you think of Walker's performance.<br /><br />All: David Cronenberg is one of my favorite directors, but Cosomopolis is one of the worst films I've ever seen. I didn't like one thing about it, including Pattinson's work. I will agree with W.J., though, that the film wasn't bad <i>because</i> of Pattinson, it was just bad because it was bad. Oh well.<br /><br />Pattinson and Herzog has me a bit... curious.Alex Withrowhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15887018476048271594noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4784665635104956142.post-77254482730198594912013-12-23T11:42:37.942-05:002013-12-23T11:42:37.942-05:00Glad to hear Walker gave a good performance.

Not an awful film--and not really Pattinson's fault, either--but Cosmopolis felt unmoored and not in a good way. The film lacked consistency or even any real message beyond "the world is fucked." Maybe Cronenberg was too in love with the source material? I think DeLillo's book could be a good film, possibly, but this wasn't it.<br /><br />I will definitely check this out when it comes to Netflix as the premise and trailer intrigued me. It feels like this film has been floating around for more than a year or more--unfortunate we're only seeing it now that Walker is deceased.W.J.http://inwidescreen.blogspot.com/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4784665635104956142.post-20090204230561045602013-12-22T12:47:51.117-05:002013-12-22T12:47:51.117-05:00interesting that you separated paul's performa...interesting that you separated paul's performance from the film. the screenplay can certainly make or break a filmCandice Frederickhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16195801629178470295noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4784665635104956142.post-2381139442792469552013-12-22T09:15:10.387-05:002013-12-22T09:15:10.387-05:00I feel like it will take me some time to see this ...I feel like it will take me some time to see this one because it's painful for me to see movies with actors that are no longer there.

I think he does have it. Besides, I'd rather watch him read a phone book than watch any crap movie that stars someone like Robert Pattinson or Hayden Christensen.thevoid99https://www.blogger.com/profile/03055459287396592446noreply@blogger.com
