Cosmopolis
This reminds me a lot of Cronenberg's movie Spider from 2002. While Cronenberg stamps his name all over it, there’s none of the action, suspense or brutality of his many great movies. That doesn’t make this a bad movie, it just makes it a very boring one. It’s absolutely minimalistic. This makes A Dangerous Method look like Raiders of the Lost Arc. Performances are good, and I’m sure some of the ideas talked about in the dialogue are meaningful. But it’s so intentionally slow and sullen, Indy might say it might be better off in a museum.
