    I sat in the back row of the theatre but had to leave after thirty minutes because I was motion sick. This was not an "action" movie but the camera moved around so fast that I felt that I was on a wild roller coaster. This coupled with the fact that the Cineplex theatre had some heating issues; it was incredibly warm, almost had me tossing my cookies. I was interested in the plot initially but found the story hard to follow despite my physical symptoms.

    I can't say I liked it, because millions of people lots their jobs and houses in 2008, but this really puts things into perspective. Are people really that ignorant and woefully blind?? I hope not.

    I had no idea what this movie was about. It's an eye-opener for sure! Well down and thank you! I'm being careful with my money and my investments after watching this!

    AWFUL. No steady cam. If you are prone to motion sickness, do NOT see this movie. Boring, dull, no story line with the characters. (except for a fleeting moment with Steve Carell). Just thinking about this movie gives me a headache.

    A disappointment. The camera kept flashing so many times on the scenes it was hard to watch. Wait until it comes on the tv. Not worth seeing in a theatre.

    Loved this movie. It was very engaging and easy to understand. If you don't understand the world of finance and global markets than you probably won't enjoy it as much though.

    You must get past the multiple 4 letter words, and the over the top characters. Then you are faced with the well known history of failed, subprime mortgages. After an hour, there was trouble keeping this plot moving. Varied between, irritating, and boring.

    This movie is great. The book is better.

    Glorifies a bunch of bankers who found a different way to get rich off the misery of others. Acting was not challenging - not Oscar worthy. Should be called BIG DEAL.
