JOBS

So impressed with its subject that it leaves precious little time to explore the imperfect man behind the icon.

Jobs presents a fascinating story of how Jobs overcomes corporate backbiting and channels his own tendency toward obsession to build arguably the most innovative company of the last decade.

One might expect Jobs, a biopic of Steve Jobs, to canonize the Apple computer magnate who was only 56 when he died in 2011. But it's a lot more fun than that.

Those more familiar with this remarkable figure will find the film lacks the depth and complexity of the real Jobs.

Too often the audience is taken out of the scene with thoughts of" Hey, isn't that Ashton Kutcher?" simply because the portrayal comes off too contrived.
