”Synthetic CDO’s THAT IS FUCKING CRAZY”
I just fucking love this film so much man.
It’s quite literally a thrill all the way throughout and it’s about one of the most boring subjects known to man.
The constant 4th wall breaks for when they’re trying to clarify something or explain something are just so damn good.
Normally I don’t like that kind of stuff but it just works so well.
Every performance is fantastic theres like 3 main groups and the all of them bringing such a unique perspective to this subject.
I usually don’t actually like a stacked cast because all I can ever see is those specific people but the fact that quite literally every role in this is done by an A list actor makes it feel very real.
It’s funny as hell, there’s massive amounts of tension through all of the Mark Baum stuff, despite knowing how everything is going to end is top notch.
The pacing is PHENOMENAL because of this every scene there feels to be some sort of urgency, the 2 hours really flies by.
I really do love this film so much, and it only gets better on rewatch.
If you’ve never seen this before it’s fucking superb. Please check it out.
