A good interesting film

Rating: 7/10 (27 January 2016)

This film has had allot of praise recently and I liked it but I do think its a bit overrated. The premise of this film is set before the economical collapse as a bunch of misfits manage to predict this collapse. Steve carrell is the main guy in this film and and he has developed into a really good dramatic actor. His character is flawed but you are behind him and understand him as he tries to get his point across. Christian bale is amazing in this film he absolutely owns the screen. His character is really interesting and unique which for me made him the best character in this film. Ryan gosling is probably the most charismatic character in this film and also the funniest. Brad pitt easily has the most emotional scene in the whole film and when he is on screen he does a great job. The story has a good emotional core to it, especially towards the end of the film. However, I felt a bit robbed because of the fact that most of the characters don't even interact with each other. The script has some good humour and drama in it but it does have allot of exposition that just goes too far in trying to explain the terminology being used. The style has some interesting techniques used that work but end up getting overused. It becomes a bit too comedic and wordy at times. Overall this is a good film that if you're interested it is worth seeing.
