This movie was surprisingly enjoyable to watch; it felt like a very smart movie that dealt with how communication can be a force of good or evil. Benedict Cumberbatch, of whom I am a huge fan, was mesmerizing to watch as Julian Assange, and Daniel Bruhl played an interesting character as well. I couldn't keep my eyes off the white flowing hair and aussie accent on Julian - Benedict really nailed it. I thought this movie would be kind of boring because I didn't really know what WikiLeaks was and I thought "Why would I want to watch Ben in that stringy white hair and weird accent," but that's what made the character really come to life for me. I wasn't watching Ben, I was watching Julian.
There's some surprise guests in this movie that made me gasp at the sight of them, namely Peter Capaldi (the new Doctor on Doctor Who), Dan Stevens (Mathew on Downton Abbey), and David Thewlis (Remus from Harry Potter). This really was a very interesting movie and is worth a watch.
