Yahoo!Movies Review: “Pattinson excels”

Yahoo!Movies I’ll ignore the references to Twilight  and “especially as most of his fans can’t get into a 15-certificate film” because that is just nonsense, but you did say this:

“Previous attempts have been so-so, not really challenging the star to any great extent. Here, though, there is no place to hide and Pattinson excels. He oozes charm, and also succeeds in showing us a devious side without turning into a caricature cad.

…

The film as a whole might feel lopsided, but thankfully the stellar performances keep you entertained. It’s not quite the ‘Twilight’ bashing film that Pattinson needs to firmly establish himself away from that franchise, but a definite step in the right direction.

…

Things unfurl at a leisurely pace, but this does give us a chance to see Pattinson develop a distinctive character. His persona might be smug and dislikeable, but it does give credence to the acting ability of the star. [My emphasis]
