Cosmopolis

With an imminent stock market collapse and people rioting in the streets, a 28-year-old billionaire journeys on a daylong voyage across Manhattan to get his hair cut. That's about all I could gather was going on or rather all that's worth noting about the latest film from David Cronenberg. From a novel by Don DeLillo, Cosmopolis is murky and impenetrable, keeping the viewer at arm's length, and features a bland, entirely uninvolving performance from Robert Pattinson.
