A film has been made about the big financial crisis.

The Big Short (2015)

You may have heard about it or not. It came and left rather quickly.

No one wants to sit and hear bad news. Fewer still want to watch technical details flow by while even the film stops here and there to explain terms and technicalities. Really.

Some of this explanation stuff is done very well. Mini-movies with famous people and experts from the field of finance.

I was impressed.

I would not mind seeing this again.

The actors are great, the story moves along and has a definite heartbeat which, at times, gets fast with excitement and even fear.

That is hard to accomplish and I admire it.

This is an old style film. Villains, heroes, suspense. A movie movie.

A 4 out of Netflix5.
