entertaining tale of guy...

Rating: 7/10 (25 September 2014)

getting away with illegal activities till one day he isn't so lucky any more. This type of movie has been done before, where you have a guy, a novice, beginning something new, getting good at it and taking short cuts and bending the laws, until one day, the authorities have enough evidence to put him behind bars.
Jordan is a newbie at brokering and loves making the big bucks. The stock market crashes and he is out of a job. He finds a job selling penny stocks and is soon rolling in the cash by getting people to invest in stocks that aren't going to make them money, but will make him money. He's into drugs and hookers and soon ditches his wife for a hot new one. Jordan starts his own investment company and trains his friends how to talk people into buying worthless stocks. He's so good at it he makes millions both legal and illegal ways.
Of course, when the government finds out your into fraud, they will catch you. But till then, Jordan is just into everything. There are some comedic moments like when Jordan can't talk and walk while on qualudes and when they are on the boat in the storm.
FINAL VERDICT: I wonder how much of the story is really true. It's based on a book written by the real Jordan. And ways, it is a little long at almost 3 hours, but it's entertaining enough to sit through. Check it out.
