I'm not sure exactly how David Fincher has done this, but it's pretty amazing to watch - a story that could be utterly uninteresting and dull, told in a way that makes you hang on the edge of your seat from the very start until the end credits roll up. It's the editing of course, and the way the different parts of the story are woven into each-other. The good actors, the depth of the characters, so unusual in a film about college students. The trailer makes your skin crawl, and the film itself is fascinating.

Jesse Eisenberg is great, I hope he gets more of those serious roles.



P.S. Of course, the answer to "How has David Fincher done this?" is that David Fincher is an extraordinary director.
