Short or shot?

Rating: 8/10 (6 February 2016)

Old radical tradition lives in Hollywood. But is this a radical film? Doesn't really matter, regardless of your other opinions, you should be interested in whether capitalism functions or not. It didn't in the years before the crash in 2008.
We meet moneymakers and wannabe moneymakers, who are not interested in investments to build things up; just to build their own wealth. That's the problem and they even invest in a future financial breakdown.
Most cynical of them all is Brad Pitt, who puts up a performance, just to show rotten the system is. The problem however is that we still don't understand what he's actually doing, although it is explained to us. Otherwise this would have meant a 9 rating.
