Breaking the Fourth Wall, Annoying Direction, Aggravating Noise and Bore

Rating: 7/10 (1 January 2016)

Yeah, these are basically what I hated about this film.
Couldn't stand them breaking the fourth wall, got anxiety when the characters talked over each other, thought the music and drum scene were terrible to sit through and thought the film could have just as easily been a talking heads documentary poorly explaining the economic bust.
For what it's worth, as culpable as the banking industry was, the idea that "govt. intervention" would help is ludicrous. In fact, govt. intervention is what helped get us in the position to begin. And allowed the banks to be bailed out by tax dollars later. Liberal politicians created an environment of lending that made it possible to have such risky loans because of anti- discrimination rules. Basically forcing lenders to loan to poor and bad credit customers.
There was also the much under-associated effect that the spike in gas prices had. Remember the price of everything from milk to pizza delivery increased because of additional fuel surcharges?
Anyway, this was just not a very good film but was an interesting subject and, although limited in its exploration of the root causes of the "great recession", pretty accurate on the narrow reasoning it presented.
