Dantes AnonymousNikola Tesla was the smartest person ever born! US was just not his country, therefore he wasn't allowed by Edison's people to fully unveil even a tiny portion of his inventions. I remember reading this story how he designed a machine that could separate earth in 2. Also bunch of ideas that to this day they don't know how they actually worked! Movie "The Prestige" showed off a little about his idea of light that's not connected by any wires. Edison had nothing on him. Too bad movies made in US are biased.2018-08-12 21:08

Critic Reviews of "The Current War"
indieWireSeptember 12, 2017A torpidly slow epic with a script that moves at the speed of light, the film is pockmarked with incidents that never cohere into a clear narrative.
New York Magazine/VultureSeptember 11, 2017Apart from those nutty camera angles and lenses, which throw you out of the action, The Current War is absorbing ...
AV ClubSeptember 11, 2017The prevailing mood of The Current War is indifference; there's no point listing the crimes against the past committed by Michael Mitnick's dramatically inept script ...
VarietySeptember 10, 2017What it can't do ... is generate even the slightest bit of interest in what happens to any of its characters.
Hollywood ReporterSeptember 10, 2017For all its aggressive energy, The Current War is an uninvolving bore, making it unlikely to measure up as the kind of Oscar-baity prestige entry the Weinstein Company obviously had in mind.
We Live EntertainmentApril 30, 2018With a better screenplay with more emotionally appealing characters, The Current War could've been a hit.
SlashfilmDecember 29, 2017The Current War may not break new ground, but it finds exciting ways to make the old seem new.
National Newspaper Publishers AssociationSeptember 19, 2017Director Alfonso Gomez-Rejon rides to the rescue with style to spare. Eye-catching cinematography (Chung-hoon Chung), production design (Jan Roelfs) and art direction (Stephen Bream) make the footage a joy to watch.
We Got This CoveredSeptember 14, 2017Gomez-Rejon's The Current War is unfortunately neutralized by Mitnick's artless script.
NOW TorontoSeptember 13, 2017It's very expensive and very busy, and it's utterly forgettable.
The Film StageSeptember 12, 2017Despite investing so much time in unnecessary biopic exposition, the whole is an exciting and informative history lesson. We learn electricity was always bigger than two men.
