With Robert Pattinson in rare unnerving form as a billionaire whose frictionless life is crumbling around him, it’s a cold, darkly comedic and ultimately cathartic adaptation of the great Don DeLillo novel.

Cosmopolis is exhilarating in two ways. The first is that it offers up the soothing image of a billionaire capitalist brought to heel by riots. The second is that Pattinson's work as Packer.

Cosmopolis, based on the Don DeLillo novel, is less forthright and substantially less enjoyable, but the same general themes are recognizably in place.

A challenging, occasionally off-putting film that marries DeLillo's prose and many of Cronenberg's key themes. Pattinson is fantastic as a disaffected rich buffoon and the high tech limo gliding through a dystopian tech-bro future is a thing of beauty
