David Fincher’s scintillating tell-all of social networking giant Facebook’s inception might be more fiction than fact, but it’s a small price to pay when you’re watching something as riveting and skillfully constructed as this. In their adaptation of Ben Mezrich’s novel The Accidental Millionaires, Fincher and writer Aaron Sorkin (The West Wing) grip the viewer from the very first frame and proceed to translate what potentially is really dry material for cinema into a deft distillation of universal thematic hooks that form the core of many great stories: it’s the classic rags-to-riches tale, the ultimate revenge of the nerd and the heartbreaking autopsy of a broken friendship. Jesse Eisenberg’s surprisingly excellent performance as Facebook CEO Mark Zuckerberg’s is not the most flattering portrayal of the man, but essentialy human: unfalteringly brilliant but emotionally clueless. An invigorating and vital film, highlighted by Sorkin’s relentless, lighting-paced dialogue.
