"It was written by this guy Chris Terrio, this is his next movie after Argo, who is just this brilliant writer of characters," Eisenberg said during a recent spot on The Today Show. "So this movie is not a cartoonish superhero movie, it’s this very serious, well-acted, well-written, well-directed movie. It’s really phenomenal.”.
