Amazing story, not very well directed

Rating: 5/10 (24 June 2011)

The real story was well worth telling, its truly one of theft, betrayal, greed, ego and consequential money, loneliness and emptiness. This film shows Mark Zuckerberg (mr Facebook) to be the low-life that he is, and for that, the film is definitely worth a watch - it becomes increasingly addictive. My wife and my just found the boring background music too high in volume and we spent most of the time having to read subtitles to be able to follow the dialog. We are not deaf, we have never had this problem with other films, so why does the director (David Fincher) spoil the viewer-experience with such an unnecessary inconvenience? We got the impression that David Fincher is a Spike Lee wannabe, and this spoiled what could have been a far better film. That said, the acting was good enough to make it well worth two hours of your time.
