Why was this movie made?

Rating: 3/10 (11 February 2011)

It is hard to imagine what possessed anyone to think that this story would make for an entertaining film. There is nothing inspiring, or profound, or even very interesting in the story - stories like this play out in the corporate world just about every day. The only reason the movie was made is because someone became obscenely wealthy at the age of 23 due to his technical savvy and Ivy League connections. So what? That has happened before, too. The main character is really unpleasant, and not in a fascinating way. It is depressing to know that people who behave in such a reprehensible manner can profit so greatly. How many people can even relate to the characters in this film? I am glad that I saw it at a friend's house and didn't pay ten dollars in a movie theater.
