The Fifth Estate is an American thriller film released in 2013 with a budget of $26 million and a box office draw of $8 million. It features the story of Wikileaks.org a website that leakes classified information into public knowledge. It shows the story of Julian Assange (Benedict Cumberbatch) and Daniel Domscheit-Berg (Daniel Bruhl) who siege a war on the governments of the world to bring privacy to the regular people and expose the government. It starts as a positive movement and shows the tag team of Julian and Daniel take the war to governments and sharing their filthy deeds such as assassinations and war crimes with the public.
Overall in my opinion this was a good movie if you watch it from the prespective of a normal person, now in critic prespective, yes, it was a commercial failure. Although this made me really interested in the cause of wikileaks and makes me happy that there are some people out there who stand up to governments and literally expose them for what they really are.
