    Eisenberg was probably born for this role.

    The story is well threaded and you don't get bored until the end. A decent movie.

    Here we go with the fourth review of a David Fincher's film this week, in preparation for the upcoming Mank, directed by the same person who delivered phenomenal movies like Se7en, Fight Club, Zodiac, and more. Now, it's time for The Social Network, which premise can be summed up in "the story behind the creation of Facebook".

    You have to wonder whether Mark Zuckerberg would ever have liked this career defining portrayal by Jesse Eisenberg? His character comes across as an arrogant ass of a man who is prepared to chuck just about everyone under the bus in order to get his original concept of an inter-connected network that enables folk to chat with each other in real time online. He is fed the germ of the idea by the Winklevoss twins (Armie Hammer) and using $1,000 from his best (and only) pal Eduardo Saverin (Andrew Garfield) is soon well on the way to developing "Facebook". That comes to the attention of the savvier Sean Parker (Justin Timberlake) but it's pretty clear that he and Saverin are no match made in heaven. As the story progresses, the personalities a...
