If you are an idiot, you might love this movie. Whoever made this movie missed out on a huge opportunity at greatness in favor of dumbing down the story to relate to people with IQ’s less than 90.
The movie is redundant, with constant “OMG” moments. They paint the bosses of the investment bank as fucking morons–who know nothing about MBS. It’s unrealistic and ridiculous. Towards the end of the movie, they obsess on compensation, as if the writer just wanted to twist the knife into the watching audience. One of the junior pikers is appalled that his boss made $2.5 million the year prior–again, totally unrealistic.
Out of a possible 10 thumbs, I give it a 6. It’s too bad Hollywood is unable to make quality Wall Street films. It seems they are only able to make shit about fucked up villains and/or cold callers ripping off idiots from the midwest with penny stock scams. Fuck Hollywood and their brush.

You kidding!! Spacey did it again!

Dick Fuld said he knew nothing about MBS, only that they made money

Hollywood movies have nothing to do with reality. Why is this such a surprise to you?
It was paiful watching the movie. The highlight was demi moore and her mini skirt
you need to get out of the OWS group.

BANNED, part 1,103
ROFL
Hollywood wants to make sure they get their “Ban Capitalism” message across while at the same time taking the money that capitalism provides. None of these fuckers could tie their shoes without help.
Agreed; movie was 2 star crap. Spacey and the British trader were good but the script was terrible; the depicition of why their MBS holdings were about to crumble (& the pieces of the puzzle the main character was ale to solve in a few hours) were insulting to anyone with even causal market knowledge. Best part of the movie was the 3 minutes (depicted mostly in audio) of the MBS dump. Very disappointing
After reading these posts I withdraw a prior post suggesting kids go to a Waldorf School. Many people writing posts here should go to a Waldorf School themselves and send their kids to an inner city charter school.
The trailer was uh…underwhelming, not surprised.
It sounds like a Mikey Moore type of flick. The Israelis want to use Mikey as a bunker buster on Iran – drop him from 30,000 feet and watch out below!
And I want to operate the exit door.
Thank god i did not go through with seeing this at the theatre on saturday night…i absolutely hate dumbed-down movies on sophisticated topics more than just about anything.
How’s “Margin Calls” compared with the movie “Inside Job”?
There’s only one movie I ever saw that actually sounded as though the writer understood Wall street wasn’t really a Wall Street movie. I can’t recall the name but it was about a young Canadian French fucker working in London and then getting on a plane to go see his dying dad in Quebec. It was subtitled shit in Frog.
They mentioned the job he did and it was trading equity derivatives for an I-bank. They also went into the job and it was fairly accurate.
If you listen to the trades being barked into the phone in Wall Street 1 they were laughably small even then.
You’re right Fly, Hollywood has no understanding at all of Wall Street.
Fuck Hollywood and all those ignorant fucking twats.
Hollywood has the same issue that politicians have. They are about making money. Politicians don’t need truth or reality to get donations or win elections. And Hollywood doesn’t need reality to sell movies. Reality is irrelevant to their enterprises.
Reality might be relevant for people who want to look at themselves in the mirror in the morning and feel decent about themselves. But no one working in Hollywood or Washington D.C. cares about that. I think the standard job applications in both places ask if you care about that. And if you do, you are eliminated from the pool of candidates.
You sure try and sound smart, for a dumb fuck.
Wait until Whoreywood makes the Epic OWS…It’ll have you puking in the aisles
This you will want to see in the theatre (leave the mess behind)
I want to hear what steve the neighbor thought of the movie
So you would recommend “Too Big to Fail” over this. I plan on watching it this evening…
The sound of a grave being dug as the ending credits rolled…instant classic
