It was ok. Like most movies lately, it could have used a good editor.
That's ground zero for where the problem began.
Misrepresented the government’s role horribly.
But was a fun watch.
Good film. I liked it.
it was interesting to see how some were able to profit from the bust of the real estate bubble. The libtards movie makers concentrated on how the evil greedy wall streeters tried to profit from the bubble but ignored how dumocrats were the cause of the bubble in the first place.
I too liked the movie except for the language. I’ve dealt with hedge fund managers and they do not use the f-word any more than any other group of men in stressful situations. Once the language barriers were broken in movies, they have gone overboard. Like slow motion car crashes it’s being overused.
But the basic plot was well developed and like others have said all were blamed except the government. They created the bad loan atmosphere and did the bail outs that should not have been done.
“I did take issue with the observation at the end that minorities and poor people rather than banks ended up getting blamed for the crash”
Yes, its really one of the amazing stories of all time, how sophisticated Ivy elite bankers were tricked by the rubes in town. lol
And selling a bad product in bundles and calling it good, working hard to convince investors it is grade A, while
knowing it will fail... why, that’s just good business! Knowing a transmission is about to fail and selling it to a nice family with a few well placed lies? Gosh, that’s just being a good businessman!
It was really wrong to blame them, the bankers were the victims here, tricked by the most common in our midst!
Number One and Only Son saw it and thought it was great...
Never considered any of this topic before and said it scared the crap out of him...
Good.
Cinema rep in Johnstown, PA says the film will not be shown here as they can make more money showing Star Wars in two theaters to the local vapid masses. Will have to wait on the DVD or drive to Pittsburgh.
It was a good movie, entertaining. It portrayed Wall Street about how I perceive it, a bunch of people disconnected from reality on the ground in their own little world. The portrayal used humor to make points, an enjoyable distraction with a stark warning, the next time (now) will be worse.
If the government’s involvement was not mentioned,it is not worth the admission
They were among the liars that lied on their mortgages buying overpriced monstrosities with absolutely no diligence and that's quite clear in the movie.
