    Not worth $4.99 to slug through this maze of confusion. Great actors, terrible script that can't find where its going and outcome.

    Love this movie. Sharp. Just like the $5000 suits most of these wear. Great cast. Well directed. Shows how cutthroat this Wall Street business is.

    As you watch this, especially if you have a grasp of what happened in 2008, you will be horrified and unable to look away. It was a train wreck on that fateful day. Excellent movie. Well told story. And if you read the current news, bound to happen again.
  • Good Movie

    If you’re in the financial sector you will appreciate the accurate depiction of what happened during this crisis.
  • Amazing exposition, lack of a climax

    The movie is beautifully put together, and the cast puts on an amazing performance, but I am left feeling like this movie was entirely exposition. I kept waiting for the action to start, but was only left with a few minute sequence that summed up the result of the first hour and a half of the movie. After this short sequence comes a a hasty conclusion. This is such a shame becuase the first hour and a half is so good and the time goes by without even noticing. I hapily would have watched another hour of this movie to see the story fleshed out much more on the back end. 100% worth the watch, but dont expect to be blow out of the water. The Big Short is a much more complete movie about the same topic.

    Like watching paint dry. Don't waste your money or your time.
  • A bad movie overall

    The ending was bad and leaves you with a, "That's it?!" feeling. Characters were not developed right and there is a sense that is coming to a climax but it ends on a whimper. Deleted it from my iPad right away and I wll never watch it again.
  • Great cast, not worth the dollar rent

    Great cast in this film, but this movie was very slow moving. I wouldn’t recommend it unless you are into “boardroom” thrillers. Otherwise, save your money.
