Analysis - The characters are grasping and you feel as though you're in that spot imagining directly alongside them. This movie transports you to their time, their battles, their torment just as their Joy and triumph. Cumberbatch is magnificent as the unusual Edison, continually taking a shot at another idea. Shannon's Westinghouse is an engineer with greater thoughts, perceiving how power will impact change on a more fabulous scale. As for Shannon, the entertainer carries a specific gravitas to each job he possesses, and he capably carries a comprehension to Westinghouse. The remainder of the cast includes solid help including Hoult, Middleton, Holland and Matthew Macfadyen as J.P. Morgan.
The idea of the story, the savage clash between Edison, Westinghouse, and Tesla, was promising, the period settings and acting were fantastic, yet the film was ruined by misjudgments. The storyline is level although moderately exact, the visual altering is apprehensive and jerky. Enjoyed viewing the contention between Edison, Nikola Tesla, and George Westinghouse. But stunned to realize the self-image side of Mr. Edison. In any case, one must concede he is an extraordinary inventor. The film is a bit moderate however it's a decent watch.
