David Fincher directed this Drama. Watch Preview Cast: Jesse Eisenberg, Justin Timberlake, Andrew Garfield, Joe Mazzello, Rashida Jones, Rooney Mara, Armie Hammer, Max Minghella, Brenda Song. Rated PG-13 for sexual content, drug and alcohol use and language. Running time is two hours.
A Harvard undergrad and computer programming genius, Mark Zuckerberg (Eisenberg), creates a global social network and a revolution in communication. A mere six years and 500 million friends later he is the youngest billionaire in history. Based on the book "The Accidental Billionaires" by Ben Mezrich.
No doubt this is a very good film, with fast pacing and a story which should interest anyone who's a member of Facebook. From what I've read however, you shouldn't consider this a biography as many of the storylines have been enhanced to make for a better drama. There are those who know Zuckerberg who say he's not the humorless automaton he appears to be in the film. Some will find the pacing, especially the dialogue, progressing too rapidly although the younger crowd probably won't be bothered by this. The film did hold my attention and the two hour length went by fairly quickly. It's a film worth seeing, but I'm not as enthusiastic about it as some of the national reviewers. Theatres/Times.
