The basis for the film sounds promising. It's about a 28 year old billionaire and how everything goes wrong for him over the course of a day as he travels in his limo to get his haircut on the other side of town.
Even the promise that Pattinson has sex multiple times should be a draw for many viewers such as teenage girls (or maybe just all girls).
Despite this, the acting is terrible. This is a product of the dialogue which is simply awful and which will have you questioning what was going on in the writer's mind as the screenplay was drawn up and the directing which is amateur. A surprise seeing as Cronenberg is at the helm. Unfortunately for the actors, this disastrous combination makes them look just as bad...it looks like Pattinson will have to step aside as a sexual symbol for a number of years to come.
I've never been to a cinema and seen droves of people leave halfway through, yet this is what happened with this movie. I waited outside the screen to see what people were saying as they left and the one word I kept hearing was 'terrible'. The one phrase I kept hearing was 'what the fuck was that?'
Proceed with caution with this one...you've been warned 3/10.
