How interesting that a film about the social media phenomenon that is Facebook is released at the same time that it has been replaced at the top of the networking pile by Twitter. Nevertheless The Social Network is intelligent and at moments a deeply suspenseful film which shouldn’t be missed by fans of the site and newcomers alike.
Part courtroom drama, part thriller, The Social Network is adapted from author Ben Mezrich’s The Accidental Billionaires and follows the inception and subsequent law suits surrounding Mark Zuckerberg and the ownership of the new media phenomenon.
