Well-acted and armed with an almost too-good script, The Social Network traces the baby steps of the online phenomenon we now know as Facebook. From the numerous law suits wanting a piece of the pie what's clear is that nothing is straightforward. While Zuckerberg may have wrote and developed the code other key players funded it and made it possible, while others may have come up with the idea in the first place. Beneath all the framing, this is a story about money/success and how a highly intelligent yet naive twenty-something year old becomes star-struck and then sort-of alienates and betrays his best friend. The soundtrack is young but doesn't inspire a film which still lacks emotional punch and purpose in the end. Informative, sharp but probably not worth more than 2 watches.
7.5/10
