Started watching a Comedy only to realize it was a Horror

Rating: 7/10 (24 March 2017)

They did a great job of explaining how the large banks manipulated CDO's and MBS's and fraudulent rating houses kept taking fees in exchange for favorable ratings.
I honestly expected somewhere in this movie it would make me laugh.
Not once. It should not be sold as a comedy. It is clearly a drama.
The acting was good. Not great.
One thing that they don't talk about in this movie is the root cause of the housing crisis was not just the fraudulent practices but the government complicity in creating the monster of the modern investment banks. The Financial Services Modernization Act of 1999 (Gramm–Leach–Bliley Act) removed the barriers created after the 1928 crash which now allowed investment banks to also buy and sell mortgages (among other things usually limited to smaller local banks). The federal government also lowered the lending standards for the low prime GDO Freddy Mae and Freddy Mac.
But, Hollywood didn't want to mention that probably because it was their guys in office were largely to blame for allowing it all to happen.
(SPOILER)
When they mentioned that in a few years, Americans would blame immigrants and terrorism the movie kind of jumped the shark. The media can be blamed for allowing the lessons learned from the collapse would be forgotten.
