My Review of The Fifth Estate

        So I recently watched The Fifth Estate and I'm here to bring you my review. So without further ado.......

        The Fifth Estate charts the creation of WikiLeaks by the ambitious and arguably ethically dubious Julian Assenge (played by Benedict Cumberbatch). The movie opens with Assenge hiring Daniel Domscheit-Berg (played Daniel Bruhl), a fellow tech wiz to help him keep his new website operational. The site gave whistlers an entirely anonymous platform to share classified documents, and soon the pair find themselves in possession of information that will bring down a corrupt bank. As their power and influence grows, they must consider teaming with established media sources, especially when they are sent documents that would reveal ultra-sensitive state secrets from some of the world's most-powerful governments. 

         I thought this film was ok it is very well paced, Cumberbatch and Bruhl give amazing performances but the film is like a bad version of The Social Network and the film very over dramatic, with some very sloppy camera work . Overall I give the film a 4 out of 10.

        So ladies and gentlemen what did you think of The Fifth Estate, what would you score it and what did you think of my review? Let me know in the comments and let your voice be heard.
