Four outsiders in the world of high-finance who predicted the credit and housing bubble collapse of the mid-2000s decide to take on the big banks for their lack of foresight and greed. (IMDb)
The financial jargon and drama is thick and constant, but phenomenally and entertainingly packaged: The editing sizzles with both comedic and dramatic potency (lots of abrupt scene cuts and charming pop culture potpourri), the script is both serious and snicker-worthy (4th-wall breaks and snarky narration lie alongside tense moral exploration), and the big three put their acting chops on full display through some fantastic characters (the eccentric Michael, fiery Mark, and douche-y Jared).
8.5/10 (Amazing)

“The big three?” There are four “big” actors listed. What are your comments on the fourth?

Brad Pitt was the fourth. he had a fairly minor role in comparison to the others, and whether it was because of this or not, his performance didn’t stand out as much, even though it was still solid.
