Shockingly powerful and entertaining

Rating: Null/10 (5 September 2011)

I'm not sure that there has been a more intelligent, timely, and entertaining movie in recent years as David Fincher's brilliant The Social Network. Anchored by Fincher's breakneck pacing, the impressive performances, the moving electronic musical score, and Aaron Sorkin's crackling, Oscar winning screenplay. If I had been told two years ago that a movie based on the founding of Facebook would be this good I would have scoffed. In fact, the very idea of this movie was off-putting to me, but it is so much better than it has any right to be. In fact, this movie was ten times more entertaining than any big-budget action movie all year. Read my full review at: http://themuddoctor.blogspot.com/2011/08/social-network.html
