The Social Network

I watched The Social Network on the plane ride out to San Francisco for a job interview.

This movie did a great job capturing my attention and I was riveted by every scene. There was so much tension in these moments, particularly is Jesse Eissenberg's tight, subtle, creepy, and focused performance. In fact, he carried the movie, which was just as tight subtle, creepy and focused as he was. Sounds good right? Problem is, some other dimension was missing, some sort of nuance to his character that lied outside what we were shown. There was something missing from this movie, so that in spite of liking it, I immediately forgot about it.
