Good But Not Great

Rating: 7/10 (15 December 2018)

Very interesting story and great acting. The movie starts with a certain flow and a certain energy, but loses it on occasion. The use of voice-over throughout was a bit excessive. I normally don't mind a voice-over, but with this movie it was used strictly to give information. It had kind of a flat effect and there was very little personality in it. This was a very nice directorial debut for Aaron Sorkin who is a highly accomplished screenwriter. Clearly, he has studied the craft of directing and he knows what he is doing, but he doesn't have that special touch that great directors have. This movie had a lot going for it, so much that I was disappointed that it wasn't better. That said, 7 out of 10 ain't bad. It's a good movie and worth seeing.
