The Social Network (2010)


Columbia Pictures
Directed by David Fincher
My rating: 2 stars out of 4
IMDb
(Blu-ray, DVD, Sony)
(Starz)

A socially inept computer nerd at Harvard accidentally invents Facebook and becomes a billionaire. Along the way he screws over as many friends as possible. Dramatic highlights include a hacking contest and endless talk about computer coding. He idolizes then befriends the slimy founder of Napster and moves to California where his immaturity is on full display. Predictably, it all ends in greedy lawsuits. Fincher's talent is once again wasted on a dull topic.
