As a writer, Aaron Sorkin has an ability to make me care
about topics I don’t usually give two shits about. I’m not particularly
interested in the d-bags who created Facebook, but The Social
Network makes that story as compelling as it’s going to get. The same
goes for Steve Jobs (Steve Jobs), Sabermetrics (Moneyball),
and Tom Cruise as a lawyer (A Few Good Men). His directorial
debut, Molly’s Game, for which he also wrote the script,
follows a familiar pattern.
