The Social Network

It’s been a while since I’ve been as excited about an upcoming film as this one. In spite of all the rave reviews and hype, I was still sceptical: How engaging could a movie about the creation of Facebook really be? Surely watching a bunch of nerds give birth to social networking would be boring and complicated? How wrong I was!

Paced like a kick-ass thriller, this film will have you enthralled, glued and fascinated by the story behind the Harvard kid who, in a fit of anger and revenge, decided to create an online space to rate campus chicks. This of course developed into Facebook, rapidly turning Mark Zuckerberg into a 20-something millionaire. But with his success came lawsuits, allegations, betrayal and temptation – all of which had the potential to bring the empire crashing down. Brilliant!

Rating: 5 outta 5.
