Customer Ratings & Reviews

A great cast and entertaining script makes this a good review of the 2008 financial crisis. I loved all the cameo appearances.

Love this movie comedic drama the way I see it very entertaining and a good insight on how that housing market crashed without taking itself too seriously along with a great cast I’d say 2 thumbs up.

About as close you can get with realism of how comedic our economy has become due to the housing crisis. I love the variations of stories we get from the people who discovered what was about to happen to the world in 2008. I think it's highly important that you watch this movie.

Such a great movie! The cast does a great job and the writers were able to throw a lot of confusing information at us in both a humorous and easy to understand way.

Bale and Carell are great in this movie. Bard Pitt also very good. I really enjoyed this movie but I was angry at the end that our banking crisis could of been prevented. Big banks need to go , they make money even when there are monumental losses and the Feds bail them out.

Living in the SF bay area during the real estate crisis and everything we've read, it was a fairly accurate account of what occurred to cause the crash. It was also entertaining when the characters stop to talk to the audience for further explanation. Highly recommended.

It's scandal , theft , Corp. Greed , corruption in big business ( Wall Street) , with no one held accountable by a more corrupt political justice system. Who were the victims and also paid the price ? The AMERICAN PEOPLE ,as usual. The biggest PUBLIC HEIST in American history.

This movie is very entertaining. I got glued on my chair because I did not want to miss on something even though I could actually go back and forth to the same scene. This film is very informative in the sense that you get to see the other picture of the economic collapse.

As a life-long investor, I'm always interested in what goes on behind the scenes in the market. It was scary to see how conflicts of interest and the blind eye of a bull market caused so much pain for so many folks is affected. It was a sobering movie to watch but kept my interest the whole way through.

Do you ever wondered what contributed to the collapse of the housing market? This is the film for you. I wonder how much of this movie is actually true? It is disturbing, but also entertaining with a great line up of cast, action, drama, that keeps the watcher engaged. It is hugely entertaining motion picture

This is a fantastic movie about the financial crisis of 2008. The cast is stellar and the movie was a pleasant surprise for me.

Really helps paint a picture on how and why people lost their homes in the 2000s. Many Americans feel they can afford a house when they truly can't. It's a shame that these major private banks got away with their mistakes, ultimately paid for by Americans.

This was my favorite movie of 2015. There isn't a second that passes that isn't entertaining. It's a roller-coaster ride of emotion. I've never watched a movie that fueled me with rage, yet kept me fully entertained and wanting more. Best movie I've seen in years.

Some might find this film a bit condescending and others are bound to gripe about it not going into enough detail or simplifying some aspects of the financial meltdown, but for most, it's a great intro into what created the housing bubble and why it was unsustainable. Blu-ray quality is very good as well.

A look into the stock market crash in 2008 from the perspective of the housing collapse and those who capitalized off of it. The movie follows several groups of people warning of a forthcoming housing bubble burst. Who then try to monetize off that information while running into corruption on the way.

This was an entertaining portrayal of how the housing market collapsed and how some made significant money while it happened through clever analysis of the signs beforehand. Some of the scenes were a bit awkward probably to add shock and surprise. Some were funny, and some were a bit distracting.

Without a doubt one of the best movies of the year. I highly recommend this to anyone who's willing to sit through a very well-written screenplay and extremely well acted story and the truth so scary it makes you want to watch it over and over again.

This story is unbelievable and worth learning about, but the directing is a bit too heavy-handed. It's not that I disagree with the director's slant on the issues; I just think the story stands on its own without the not-so-subtle commentary.

What an awesome movie to have in any collection. I recommend this. Not too many films are made this way so this is a gem.

movie was good at explaining what happen during 2006" and beyond with everyone buying homes with liar loans. they were able to predict the outcome with people not able to pay their mortgage loan.TOO Bad-people were suck in to this mess!
