WOW. No offense, but if this gets some kinda oscar, then I would really start questioning the integrity of the Oscars.

If it turns out to be a great movie, then yes I'll eat my hat haha.  But it's just very hard to see this as anything much better than WALS2.  They both kinda give the same feel, about one guy seeming to fight to control his life.  Not really anything oscar award winning, and i'm really shocked that critics have such high opinions for this one.  Let's see how it goes down a week from now!

I don't live in USA, so can someone please enlighten me why [SOCIL] is apparantly tracking so good? What makes YOU interested ? :-) {nm} Skauge Sep 25, 05:46

Fincher is a brilliant director, Sorkin an amazing screenwriter and the subject interests me. Enough said. {nm} lesana Sep 25, 06:09

Already seen it and it's one of the best movies of the year without question. {nm} secretstalker Sep 25, 06:24

It's overtracking for very similar reasons to why WALS2 was overtracked. shadowking Sep 25, 06:43

Well, let's wait and see if SOCIL will have been overtracking. In the meanwhile, for director, advantage SOCIL. For trailer, adv. SOCIL. second gary Sep 25, 07:01

I'm looking forward to seeing it, but I still have a hard time believing it's going to bring in a lot of money {nm} ChrisEW Sep 25, 07:18

same here {nm} JMT Sep 25, 08:16

But WALS2 has a big advantage in re cast (in terms of mainstream draw) {nm} medusa Sep 25, 09:17

I agree with everyone that thinks this won't bring in that much money. darknightz Sep 25, 08:29

I always think of it as shoulda been independent film with limited release, and maybe a surprise (small) breakout. edzep Sep 25, 08:34

No idea why it's tracking well. Looks terribly trite and neutered (PG-13). Eisenberg is basically Michael Cera - Both one-note actors {nm} HarryWarden Sep 25, 13:05

its getting excellent reviews by many criticts and industry analysts that its a likely oscar contender and as well likely to be a bo hit {nm} apextek Sep 25, 13:54
