The Big Short

Rating: 6/10 (1 February 2016)

"The Big Short" boasts an impressive cast featuring Ryan Gosling, Steve Carell, Christian Bale, Brad Pitt, and a slew of cameos and other brief appearances. It is based on a true story and a book written by the same author as what "The Blind Side" was based off of. It is directed by Adam Mckay, a man who has a knack for comedy, and is expertly filmed. It basically has Oscar written all over it. There really is no way this film can fail, right? The problem with "The Big Short" is none of the items mentioned above, but in its writing and pacing. The film is extremely long, slow, and dull. It is very confusing, even with the explanation of certain terms given by random celebrities playing themselves throughout the film. I heard a comment from someone who said that you basically need a master's degree in business or finance to understand what's going on.
