Review – The Fifth Estate

★★★★☆ Some day Benedict Cumberbatch will do a bad job of acting, but I don’t want to see that day. Mr. Cumberbatch does an absolutely astounding job of playing Julian Assange. The supporting actors do their part to help sell this image as well. One thing I noticed and haven’t…

Review – The Crew (2000)
