The Writer and the Stoned CIA Agent


Last Saturday, I saw Jesse Eisenberg play a real-life Rolling Stone writer and a stoned CIA assassin. It just so happened that Eisenberg, best known for his Oscar nominated turn as Mark Zuckerberg in The Social Network, was starring in two new movies, both released here in Knoxville, last week. The two films in question could not be more different from each other. The two performances given by Eisenberg, likewise, could not be more different. My opinions of each, like the films and performances, could, once more, not be more different. It sort of sucks in a way because I really thought I would love both.
