THE SOCIAL NETWORK: 8/10
Great script, great editing... Jesse Eisenberg and Justin Timberlake are both on as their respective characters, but something about the film just feels slightly too rushed and a bit pushy. It was fun to watch, but borders between a comedy and a drama without ever pulling hard enough in one direction or the other. I also found the on-going storyline between Eisenberg and his dumped ex-girlfriend to be weak, thinly plotted and without any kind of real emotional pay-off at the end. Still, definitely worth a watch as it was a really interesting story.
