Résumés(1)
En rendant publics des documents confidentiels, ils ont fait vaciller les plus grands pouvoirs de la planète. La révélation d'informations ultra-secrètes explosives a mis en lumière un monde jusque-là inconnu. WikiLeaks a changé la donne à jamais. Comment Julian Assange (Benedict Cumberbatch), fondateur de WikiLeaks et Daniel Domscheit-Berg (Daniel Brühl) ont-ils pu obtenir ces documents ? Comment est né leur site qui, en quelques mois, a réussi à révéler bien plus de secrets que tous les plus grands médias officiels réunis ? Cette histoire est un thriller effréné, une réflexion sur ce qu'est réellement la liberté d'expression et sur le prix de certains secrets. C'est une histoire incroyable, mais dans laquelle tout est vrai. (Metropolitan FilmExport)

From the life of this controversial figure, essentially an action-packed film full of tension and drama was made, where essentially nothing is at stake. The documentary We Steal Secrets: The Story of WikiLeaks is much more interesting. Unfortunately, not even Benedict Cumberbatch, who is excellent again, saves the day this time. It’s a biopic that tries too hard to be dramatic, but in the end, doesn't even deliver any proper information. It’s too bad because I was kind of interested in this.

A movie about WikiLeaks? Which one? Oh, that one. That one that is based on two of the worst books...twisted and full of lies, like all bad propaganda. Look, film about Wiki Leaks... It’s more like an "anti-Wiki Leaks" movie. The problem is not what it’s based on, but how crummily it‘s made. The important stuff has no significance (for the plot), but even the minor human dramas are inadequate. Singer’s awful screenplay is episodic, cursory and squashes lots of things together. He often fabricates to enhance the dramatic effect, something that Condon sometimes is able and sometimes is unable (shabby virtual offices) to sell. It turns out to be a story about a weirdo and a traitor who never wanted to find each other nor had anything in common, but just wanted to change the world. Cumberbatch acts really well and gives it all he’s got, but Brühl is annoying to the point of unpleasantness – was that the intention? And that final conversation about the fifth status or whatever seems ridiculous in today’s world. The majority of people aren’t interested, they don’t read. Believe me, I wrote a diploma theses about this. Seriously, how many cablegrams, dispatches or messages have you read?
