"It's not the sex I've had, it's the sex I want that you can smell"
Young billionaire Eric Packer (Robert Pattinson) decides to
take his stretch limo across
This film reminded me of a good Shakespearean play; I only
understood about half of it but enjoyed it a lot. There are long elongated
stretches of duelling dialogue which are spoken in a half alien language of
metaphors and double meanings. The word ‘this’ takes on new meanings and is
used in – it feels like – almost every sentence. Much like a Shakespearean play
there are odd comic moments and in keeping with Director David Cronenberg’s
cannon, brief scenes of extreme violence. These few instances ignited some of
the more drawn out and dare I say duller scenes to keep the audience on
tenterhooks. Despite these flashes this wont be a film for everyone and a man
next to me in an early afternoon screening fell asleep while a couple on the
row in front left about half way in.
