Just boring.

Rating: 2/10 (17 April 2016)

Some 52 minutes into the film, an actor in one of the many buddy buddy scenes breaks the fourth wall and takes a two second gaze directly into the camera. I shut if off at that point, and thanked my lucky stars I didn't contribute to the cinema studio's take at the movie theater.
This film really felt like just another 'popular boys theater club' spending money on a poor script just because everyone was "hot" and popular, and "ballin like wall street". It played like a poor person's film: flashy, big chested, long di¢ked, frat house rude. There was no sophistication in it. It felt like the outcast step brother to Leo DeCaprio's Wall Street junk stock mayhem. Sure, Steve Carroll has his moments, but this certainly was not one of them. And Christian Bale, he could have done a better job if he just grunted through the entire film like he did in "Batman".
...tis a shame that the 2012 film "Capital" was received less than this new rendition of "why I got rich." The Big Short felt like a home brew from the local men's club after hours.... I didn't stay tuned to see if the breasts from Jordan Belfort and Jonah Hill's version made a cameo.
