A Joke with a Serious Crisis

Rating: 5/10 (23 April 2017)

In the end of 2007, the world saw one of the greatest crisis in the United States of America, the real estate bubble that affected and devastated the American economy.
"The Big Short" is a comedy that plays with the housing mortgage fraud of the bank and some of the players that foresaw the housing bubble and started hedge funds to make money. The screenplay is confused for those that are not familiar with details of the financial concepts and investments. The cameo appearance of personalities explaining concepts does not work well. My vote is five.
Title (Brazil): "A Grande Aposta" ("The Big Bet")
