Steve Jobs

LOGAN ***1/2
Danny Boyle returns to make an engrossing biopic about Steve Jobs.  Portrayed by Michael Fassbender, we see what kind of a man Steve Jobs was, his brilliance as well as his faults.  Michael Fassbender gives, arguably, the best performance of the year so far, as he transforms into the computer mogul that tries his best to revolutionize the tech industry.  The rest of the cast was great too, each being invested in their roles backed by another great screenplay by Andy Sorkin to boot.  These elements combine to make Steve Jobs a very fascinating and enjoyable movie.  It knows when to be funny, and it knows when to be intense and serious.  And it is intense!  The movie is separated into 3 moments in Steve Jobs' life, and I would say the last part is the least engaging, as you've already caught on to the pattern and it basically follows the 2 previous acts step-by-step.  Plus, there are some arguments and flashbacks in the movie that can be very hard to follow because they move so fast.  However, with all that being said, "Steve Jobs" is intense, funny and fascinating and certainly should be in the running for best picture at the Oscars at the end of the year.
