Definitely a better than Sub Prime

Rating: 9/10 (19 February 2017)

I was looking for something to have on in the background whilst I did some work. What could be less distracting that a movie about the banking crisis? The subject matter is quite dry but the makers of this film use some interesting techniques to make it more palatable. Quite often a character may turn to camera and make a comment that answers a question you were just about to pose.
It gets quirky in places, we may switch to a supermodel in the bath to explain a dull, but important, banking process using a clever analogy.
These techniques are used sparingly, holding the balance between quirky and wacky.
The characters are very engaging, probably a little over egged but I found myself on the edge of my seat when everything came to a head.
I didn't know quite as much about the crisis as I thought I did meaning there is an element of suspense.
I wasn't expecting much from this movie so I was pleasantly surprised. This movie is clever, interesting and entertaining. If you have Netflix definitely give it a go.
