Teaming up with a colleague of his named Daniel Domscheit-Berg (Daniel Brühl), Julian (Benedict Cumberbatch) creates a journalist organization to expose government crimes and shady dealings. The Fifth Estate (2013)īased on Julian Assange and his history of international government affairs, The Fifth Estate is a tedious retelling of a story behind this controversial creator of WikiLeaks. Along with the original concept of this underground cyber-community, Swordfish, the coding in this movie looks fairly authentic and visually appealing. Swordfish is a campy, popcorn movie addition that begs the question, “Who was in charge of makeup and hair for John Travolta’s character?” Pushed to the limit by a rich, powerful, and ruthless crime lord, computer cracker Stanley (Hugh Jackman) joins in on one of the many heists to make billions of dollars from unused government funds.
