Jesse Eisenberg believes that his performance in Holy Rollers is better than the one given in The Social Network.
Eisenberg is back on the big screen this week as he teams up with Justin Bartha and director Kevin Asch for the drug smuggling themed movie.
And while Eisenberg picked up a Best actor Oscar nomination for his role in The Social Network earlier this year he thinks that Holy Rollers is the better performance.
Speaking to Digital Spy the actor said: "I've never been in a movie that's received that kind of attention. I know that David Fincher and Aaron Sorkin have been involved in movies like that.
"I thought by virtue of my involvement it wouldn't receive that kind of attention. I was very surprised that it has done as well as it has."
"I felt in many ways, just personally, that I had done a better job in Holy Rollers.
"It feels strange, I think actors have this experience all the time where you've put the same amount of effort into a project and then one receives so much more attention than the other."
Eisenberg is one of the most in demand young actors currently working in Hollywood with Free Samples and 30 Minutes or Less due for release this year.
He is currently filming Predisposed, which also stars Melissa Leo and Tracy Morgan.
Holy Rollers is released 8th July.
