Yes, Aaron Sorkin‘s The Social Reckoning (Sony, 10.9) feels like a mid-range cerebral thing, but what do people want from a film like this? Space lasers, bank robberies, fist fights and car chases? It’s about Mark Zuckerberg (Jeremy Strong) giving into the ruthlessness that was waiting to happen all along and not feeling especially bothered by this. Defiant even. It’s a story driven by Facebook whistleblower Frances Haugen (Mikey Madison), but who is Bill Burr‘s “Charlie”? A composite of some kind? Strong will obviously be great, as usual, and I’m sure Jeremy Allen White, playing “Broken Code” author and tech reporter Jeff Horwitz, will be fine.
