Hellen I like the storyline of this show,it attract me so much

Micitype Pretty Good

Arianna Moses Let me be very fair here, this is not the best movie in my opinion. But, this movie is fun, it has purpose and is very enjoyable to watch.

Scarlet The film never slows down or bores, plunging from one harrowing sequence to the next.

Icarus Alexander Better to understand what a mortgage-backed security (MBS) is to fully appreciate this movie. A well acted slow burn financial drama set during the banking collapse of 2008 with a splash of morality. Kevin Spacey was the one with a heart. He cared about people and his dog. The irony.

RNMorton Fascinating and well-told tale of a corporate melt-down with excellent ensemble cast, especially the always-appreciated Tucci as risk manager and Spacey as floor boss. I'm not going to say much more since the one positive change to Imdb is no more ten line rule. The story and the characters are textured and have a very realistic feel to them. It was only after seeing this 1 1/2 times that I realized the real-life context but that's not the point of the picture. It's about corporate lowest common denominator stupidity and chilling selfishness.

Jackson Booth-Millard I knew this film was something to do with business, but I did remember seeing a television review for it, I must have forgotten the time during which it is set, so I was certainly hoping it would be interesting, written and directed by J.C. Chandor (All Is Lost, A Most Violent Year). Basically set in 2008, during a 24-hour period, at an unnamed respected a Wall Street investment bank, the financial company is forced into downsizing. Among the key players let go is head of risk management Eric Dale (Stanley Tucci), following his departure junior risk analyst Peter Sullivan (Zachary Quinto) works late into the night to finish Dale's project. Sullivan discovers the company's financial disaster, due to excessive leverage, the company's assets could decrease rapidly and the firm will go bankrupt, what follows will turn from panicking to double-checking and double-dealing. Sullivan and fellow junior analyst Seth Bregman (Penn Badgley) tell their desk head Will Emerson (Paul Bettany) about the situation, he alerts floor head Sam Rogers (Kevin Spacey), they attempt to contact Dale, with no luck. The senior executives include division head Jared Cohen (Simon Baker), chief risk management officer Sarah Robertson (Demi Moore), and finally CEO John Tuld (Jeremy Irons), they will do whatever it takes to lessen the force of intensity in this debacle. A series of meetings occur throughout the night, as the news travels up through the ranks, but whatever decisions are made in terms of staff cuts and all business matters, they will have effects and consequences both morally and financially. Also starring Penn Badgley as Seth Bregman and Mary McDonnell as Mary Rogers. The performances by the all-star cast are all great, and the script is full of lots of technical dialogue I honestly don't understand, I certainly don't understand all the components that lead to the 2008 financial crisis, but this is a good story, making the characters humanised, and it feels claustrophobic, all in all it is a worthwhile drama. It was nominated the Oscar for Best Writing, Original Screenplay. Good!

margie The story could be interesting if the script was written in an interesting manner. I am really sorry to note that the dialogues are more than awful, they completely lack of intelligence. Actors also lack of good performance - in this movie. I was bored to listen the word "f***k" and all its derivatives, it seems that the scriptwriter had no inspiration at all. I do not watch a movie to hear insulting slang every 15 sec. I think it is addressed to people with low level of intellectual capacity. Difficult to watch it until the end, so I did not. The movie attempts to provoke suspense, but to me it provokes discomfort. Unfortunately, Hollywood produces plenty of its kind every year, spending a serious amount of money on meaningless movies, when it could invest in quality concepts. Very few directors dare to work on movies exceeding the narrow Hollywood standards (maybe because they hardly can be funded).
