    Tells a very important story that impacted all of us that is very complex in a humorous and understandable fashion. Shines its spotlight on the people with the guts and gumption to figure out what was happening when the so-called experts were asleep at the switch. And outstanding, ensemble acting.

    Walked out after 30 minutes! Poorly projected story line,along with uneeded profanity, the attempt was there-but Failed.

    As a professional in the industry I thought it was fantastic. Although it would be very hard for someone outside of finance to understand.

    I f you own a house with a subprime mortgage, you will understand how the entire world was effected by the 2008 housing crisis. I am embarrassed to say that i did not realize Ryan Gosling was one of the 4 best actors of all time in this movie. Make up and cinematography were outstanding. Yes, there is a 5 minute point at the beginning of the movie were the camera was bouncing around looking at the stocks and bond market graphs. All said, it was a very informative movie...thought provoking and viewed at the best movie theater ever...Richmond Hill Silvercity.

    More of a docudrama if anything else. Well done and great acting.

    This movie was based on the housing crash in 2008. Don't think it'll happen here in Canada, but then again, that's exactly what the USA said, so it makes me wonder now. Go see it with and open mind. It'll be great to get some opinions on the matter.

    Presents the greed and ignorance of the financial industry and the government cover up with a sense of humor
