Raiding a crumbling system without anyone noticing the cracks.

Rating: 7/10 (29 February 2016)

A movie that keeps your attention on rather dry information through unorthodox means. That is somewhat rarely done, since it can be a risk.
"Was it interesting?" Not only was the overall plot engaging, but the characters were complex as well. The character development was a little heavy handed at times but was too detrimental.
2.5 out of 3.
"Was it memorable?" Some of the performances were astonishing, as well as parts of the story. I would have liked the different plot lines to mesh a little better though.
2 out of 3.
"Was it entertaining?" The camera work and the sound at times were not enjoyable in the least. The asides for explanation of certain concepts by cameos were alright, but the breaking of the fourth wall by the main characters was unnecessary, especially since there was a narrator.
1 out of 3.
Starting with 1 (because that's the way the system works), 1 + 2.5 + 2 + 1 = 6.5 I'm rounding to 7 because of Carell and Bale. Their performances won me over.
