Quickly grows repetitive and tiresome, meandering toward messages that land softly, producing little impact.

There's not really a movie there, nothing that sustains itself from scene to scene and nothing that's worth watching from beginning to end.

The film is all too faithful to its un-cinematic source.

The rapid dialogue is dry and mannered, like a David Mamet play, there's virtually no story and Cronenberg's visual scheme is cold and claustrophobic.

"Cosmopolis," because of its allegiance to the book's mannered, offbeat language, feels like it never wakes up.

Over and above its topical urgency or the bit about the misfortune of globalism, it does what this director has always done in his films: split open the head of a character, plunge inside and try to visualise the bad and the ugly things to be found there.

Cronenberg is not a director to be daunted by a scenario in which the antihero spends most of his time in a stretch limo. Turning it into a film that interests anyone ... is another matter

While not one of Cronenberg's stronger films, this anti-capitalist adaptation still merits attention.

It feels like each and every moment bursts forth with urgent dialogue, and yet what does anyone actually say?

Poor Pattinson does the best he can. He's not terrible. But he's definitely out of his element, if not beyond his depth, an altar boy in a bishop's robes.
