Weak ...........

Rating: 5/10 (28 September 2016)

The ONLY reason I give this a 5-star is out of respect for the actor who played Jobs. He obviously worked hard at attempting to portray Steve in the manner for which he was directed to play him.
Aside from that ........ this was a terrible portrayal of the man. Like Jobs, I grew up in Cupertino. Like Jobs I also crafted my trade at Atari. Like Jobs, I worked at the Warm Springs, Fremont facility in 1984 where the first Mac was manufactured.
If the intent of the film was to simply slander the man for his shortcomings as a family man ........ terrific ... they succeeded. If they intended to portray what was actually occurring at the time and the why's and how's .......... it failed miserably. Yes he was tough on his directs .......... but he was also quite approachable by everyone that worked at Apple during their trying years. He was on the production floor often and would chat with anyone that wanted to. Sad this film did not do a better job of portraying the man as a leader and instead as a deadbeat Father.
