Review of Jobs (2013) by Foxgrove — 21 Dec 2013

Not knowing anything about its subject I approached Jobs with minimal interest and found it to be a surprisingly compelling, if rather conventionally told, biopic about the recently deceased techno wiz.

Based on its own merits Ashton Kutcher's performance is probably the best of an otherwise undistinguished career. However, at times and partly due to the screenplay, he is over emphatic in portraying Jobs as both unscrupulous and unlikeable, which he very possibly was.

Under rated by the critics and despite a shaky start, the film does settle down to become very entertaining.
