Benedict Cumberbatch plays the ‘tell all’ Wikileaks founder Julian Assange, the man who unearthed many, many skeletons. You will also meet some of his own skeletons buried deep inside.



The Best Part: The end credits, which show Assange (now seeking asylum at the Ecuadorian Embassy) scoffing the idea of any movie being made about him!



The Not-So-Good: You have to know the entire Wikileaks saga, otherwise, the film is going to fly over your head. But the thing is, if you’re a Cumberbitch (as we are), you’re going to fall in love with the movie anyway.
