Outstanding.

Rating: 10/10 (14 January 2016)

The Kama Sutra of illustrations of how we were screwed and how blatant capitalism failed due to blatant corruption.
This hit every note and then some for me. Christian Bale alone was brilliant. Then add in Steve Carell, Ryan Gosling, and an outstanding supporting cast. I knew roughly 70% of what was presented here, but the contextualization of the facts through the eyes of the short sellers was just genius.
You would have thought that the cover up would have been what failed the perpetrators, instead it almost worked, and quite possibly will again without the always dirty word: Regulation. The depth and clarity of the drama and the facts together raises my hopes for humankind. Brilliant in inception and execution.
