Storyline:
New York is in turmoil, the age of capitalism is drawing to a close and Eric Packer, a high finance golden boy is chauffeured across the city in his extravagant limousine to get a haircut. A visit from the President of the United States paralyses Manhattan and as the day goes by, an eruption of wild activity unfolds on the city’s streets. Eric watches helplessly as his empire collapses and as his paranoia intensifies during the 24-hour period, he starts to piece together clues that lead him to a most terrifying secret: his imminent assassination.
The Buzz: The Woman in Black is to Daniel Radcliffe as Cosmopolis is to Robert Pattinson, hopefully, as Pattinson watches the Twlight era fade in the rearview. The former Edward Cullen will have no trouble landing roles -- he already has a clutch of potential indie projects lined up that are nothing like the franchise that brought him fame -- and that fact that Cronenberg has recruited him for a second project, Maps to the Stars, should bode well for future offers. For this Manhattan odyssey, I'm hoping for elements of Naked Lunch and Crash at the very least.

I had a drink and slouched down on the leather seat in the corner, and after a while I never wanted to leave. So private, so peaceful, so safe. I need a limo in my life.
Cosmopolis is a meeting of geniuses. It is a masterpiece. A combination of a genius writer, a genius director and script writer and a genius actor. Shake and stir and we get Cosmopolis; the kind of high quality movie we rarely get to see made, a movie in a genre of its own. A deep, intellectual, intense story with heart. A movie that hits you deeply and stays.
Don DeLillo's fantastic story; with such philosophical depth, such insight into the human mind and the world we live in. A metaphorical limo ride, a life condensed into a day. The life of Eric Packer.
David Cronenberg and his team; creating the world Eric lives in and bringing the story to life in the best of ways. David's sensitive and precise way of filmmaking, providing the needed creative space for the actors and delicately capturing their performances on camera.
Robert Pattinson, immersing himself into the complex character of Eric Packer and giving a mind-blowing performance. The brilliant mind, the intensity, the never ending curiosity, the impulsiveness, the constant hunger in every way, the inner fears, the burdens, the restlessness, the excessive need for control, the combination of growing old too quickly and still being so young. His impatient voice, trying to restrain himself and wait for others to catch up. The people coming and going in his life, as mirrors to who Eric is and where he is heading. The journey to get to know himself, to realize what life is all about and what makes it worth living.
An amazing movie. A movie that will go down in history as an example of filmmaking at its best. A masterpiece.

What is life? What is a life?
days, nights, coming, going
people you know, or don't
things happening, or not
stuff you do, stuff you know, or not
you bring all you can
play by all the rules
success, accomplishments, possessions, then what?
is that it?
there has to be more
otherwise, what's the point?
