Good insight, valuable information... and that's it.

Rating: 6/10 (3 February 2016)

Now, for those of you (myself included) appreciating a good story in a movie, this film is going to be disappointing. It's the perfect example how you can have a very strong fact and some pretty good characters but still get it wrong. The fast cutting, mixed news and archive footage flash-backs simply won't replace the story(telling). I had to fight throughout the entire film with the impression that the director is trying too hard to find a better and more shiny way to tell his story, probably because he felt it was too complicated, too snobby for a wide audience. Nevertheless, you can see some very fine acting, especially from Christian Bale. And, of course, you can get yet another point of view for the big financial crisis that we're all still licking our wounds from. Worth seeing, but rather on TV or rental, so you can skip it if it becomes too annoying.
