The Social Network

THE SOCIAL NETWORK (2010) - Oct. 8, 2010
Probably Fincher's best film since Panic Room (and definitely the most distinctly Finchery film in its visual style since that one), this was a really compelling movie about the invention of Facebook.  I kind of wish I hadn't read the book that inspired this film, as it did mean that there weren't really any surprises for me, but this was certainly a really well made film with a surfiet of interesting characters -- so the lack of surprises was pretty much a non-issue.  It was also exceptionally well acted -- it was probably one of the more consistantly well acted films I've seen in a while.  Particularly, both Andrew Garfield and Jesse Eisenberg were both pretty much amazing in the two main roles.  ***1/2
