Absolutely brilliant

This might be the best made film of the last decade. Sorkin's written dialogue is genius and it's delivered incredibly sharp.

The film is also perfectly structured between the linear narrative and the cuts forward to the on going trial.

Funny thing is, it's probably one of the weaker casts that Fincher has assembled, yet he squeezes some really great performances from everyone from Armie Hammer to Eisenberg.

The score is also fantastic! Reznor and Ross killed it with multiple pieces of music.

I disagree that the cast is weak. The film is about young people taking the industry by storm, so Fincher casted a younger, more experimental group of people and worked them to death and it really paid off.
