The script sparkled with craftsmanship. Telling the story the way they did,
I was a big fan.

When I saw the film, I felt the script and dialogue were electric. And that
first scene... wow. Aaron Sorkin has always been a master script writer.
This may be his best work thus far. (And I'm not a fan of his politics or
lifestyle. I simply think the dude knows how to write.)
