When watching this, At some point I was asking myself what's the right thing to do. I like movies with moral dilemmas, this was a good one.
Benedict Cumberbatch’s work is enjoyable as usual, but it’s not a spectacular film
The actors are all great but the narrative was a tad messy - could've been done better!
Interesting, but kinda just banked on Cumberbatch’s ability to play “brilliant a$$hole” to the nines.
Nothing very memorable except Cumberbatch is good at playing a nervous nelly.
A very poor rendition of an interesting true story
Of course it’s an interesting story but it’s a bit of a mess.
Very interesting story. Some daring story telling and visualising done here. Cumberbatch carries this thing through. Slow at times
Not the most gripping story but Cumberbatch as Assange is inteteresting. Nice to see a more international milieu.
Interesting dramatisation of Assange and Wikileaks that has some ring of truth.
