I have no use for Facebook, yet a movie about Facebook's (possibly
larcenous) founding works for me. It just goes to show that, in the
right filmmaker's hands, any story can be worth your time. Especially
notable is the use of Justin Timberlake--seemingly a case of stunt
casting--who almost steals the show as a thinly veiled version of
Napster's Shaun Fanning. As for the accusations of wrong-doing by Mr.
Zuckerberg...well, "not proven" as they say in Scotland, but the kid
sure doesn't come across very well here. You may judge for yourself, by
seeing this film.
