An unpleasant time had by all

Rating: 2/10 (3 October 2010)

It's a story of really despicable people making a lot of money. If you are interested in making a lot of money, too, you won't find out how they did it by watching this movie -- all you will know is that Zuckerberg is the youngest billionaire in the US.
The flashback technique is used very ineffectively. The scenes of depositions (or whatever it is that is going on at those tables -- why aren't we told?) are unnecessary for introducing the next segments. It seems to me that the movie makers, while telling us about two lawsuits, are actually only protecting themselves from a lawsuit. They are trying to persuade us that the events in the movie, true or false, were presented in sworn testimony. Who cares? The story could have been better told straight forward.
Also, if the flashforwards had been omitted, there would have been some time left to let us see what happened that turned the company into a money-maker.
The actors did a great job of portraying unpleasant human beings who destroyed everyone who tried to get close to them, but that's not reason enough to see the movie.
