An entertaining film (co-written by Charles Randolph, winning Oscar and BAFTA, and based on the non-fiction 'The Big Short: Inside the Doomsday Machine' by Michael Lewis), with an unusual approach which exposes its own dramatised nature and enlists the help of various celebrities to help explain the complexities of the financial pickle the US got the world into - you are frequently driven to exclaim 'What?!' The key performers Christian Bale, Steve Carrell, Ryan Gosling and Brad Pitt (also a producer) aren't given much in the way of back story; the moral upshot of it all comes later. Where was the financial wizard who saw it coming and tried to warn somebody (rather than make a few billion bucks off the crash)?
With: Marisa Tomei, Finn Wittrock, Melissa Leo, John Magaro, Rafe Spall, Hamish Linklater, Jeremy Strong, Margot Robbie and Max Greenfield (
New Girl).
Shot in customary loose style by Barry Ackroyd (
The Hurt Locker, United 93) (in Panavision) and edited with panache by Hank Corwin (
The Tree of Life, The New World).
