Working on the outskirts of the industry I love most films related to finance so I probably enjoyed it more than most. |
I also enjoyed Money Never Sleeps, which benefited from the clever updating and pointing out how much hasn't changed since the 1980s. There was also a very good 'who can you trust?' subplot about Gordon Gecko and other bankers/financiers/speculators, making you realise how much the average person – and the world as a whole – is at the mercy of speculation about currencies and stocks and shares.
