Last Film You Watched

It's no thriller, probably more a investigative piece, yeah. They don't show ugly scenes, it's mostly the dialogue. I'd really recommend it mate.

Hugely recommend it. It's a fantastic film, and the dark-haired fella (a mate said he played The Hulk) is outstanding.
 

The Big Short.

Amazing. The plot is interesting, shocking and funny. The actors are superb, especially Carell, Bale and Gosling. Best film of the year for me. If you're slightly interested in the financial world, it's a must-watch.

10/10.

Meh. It's ok. Good performances but I just didn't really enjoy the film that much.

Truthfully, I honestly don't know. I watched it about 2 weeks ago, and I still feel like something is niggling me, preventing me from saying 'it's a good film'. There's minor aspects that I feel the film got wrong (in a production sense, not from a fact perspective), and whilst they went to great lengths to explain some bits (those celeb explanations) other bits were left completely ignored (e.g. who exactly were they selling off their positions to, towards the end, and why would they buy them?)

As someone who works in the banking industry, perhaps I was scrutinizing it a bit too much, clouding my ability to just enjoy it as a film.

As has been said, Margin Call is better.
