Allright...it received very positive reviews, in some cases critical acclaim:
And it's by Cronenberg...ya pretty much can't beat that.
So we borrowed it from the library, stuck it in the blue-ray and settled in for a few hours of brilliant entertainment. After a half-hour we started jumping tracks to see if it might possibly get any better, and finally watched the last, apparently magnificent scene with Pattinson and a wacky Paul Giamatti. Eh.
I didn't give a shit what happened to this dick after the first couple of scenes. Maybe the book was good.
