Customer Ratings & Reviews

If you want to understand what happened back in the.Great Financial Crisis of 2008 - watch this movie ... and try not to get too upset with the greedy folks that caused it.

Great character portrayals by a star-studded cast. A behind the scenes look at money, greed, and politics winning over Main Street America, but the smart few doing their homework and triumphing over Wall Street!

Great movie with a great cast. If you enjoyed Moneyball and the Blindside this movie was based on a book by the same author. The cast is excellent and the story is interesting.

Amazing movie it tells you what really happen in 2008. An amazing cast I would totally recommend.

I was on vacation and a friend recommended this movie I finally got around to watching it and it was very interesting to see how things are covered up and how the insiders work

The Housing Crisis that happened in 2008 is not very easy to explain but this is the best film on that subject, and it is done with Humor.......... Give this film a try.

This movie is informative as well as entertaining! Steve Carell, Ryan Gosling, Christian Bale, and Brad Pitt were all exceptional at portraying their characters uniquely.

I loved this movie. It's slow and recommend to watch it by yourself because it has a lot of info. I love how they Actually have scenes to explain the scenes for people who aren't familiar with the terminology.

Great way to describe the fiasco in 2008. Great actors with an entertaining story based on true events

This movie documents the American housing crisis that crashed the global economy in the most entertaining way, and thats hard to pull off! Great cast excellent acting.

Excellent acting, a great script, and great direction (by a director that isn't known for doing this kind of film). I would highly recommend it (along with "Margin Call")!

The cast is amazing and does a great job fulfilling the demanding performances of a strong set of characters. The movie tells a great story and is well worth your time!

This is a really good movie, might strike a bad spot if u lost ur home during this time, but really opens ur eyes as to why we should pat attention to matters around us!

Give credit to the film makers for creating an enjoyable, interesting, and often funny film about the housing market crash. Great cast, great Blu-ray. Recommended.

As with many 'based on true event' movies there is a certain amount of "Hollywood" added to the story to make it more entertaining.. with that said this was a well acted movie and worth the watch

Even though the subject has been analysed at length for the past 10 years, the movie still present it very well, supported by solid acting for all the characters

One of the beat movies I have watched in a long time. If you worked in finance or are just curious why the financial markets nearly melted down, this movie is for you

Making an interesting, understandable and entertaining movie about the financial crisis would seem like a tall order. The Big Short accomplishes it with flying colors.

one of the best films of 2015. great cast. and the writers found a way to tell a very complicated tale in a way that almost anyone can understand. highly recommended.

Not an action packed thriller but it's not supposed to be. It does a great job of showing how corrupt the system can be. Slow paced but educational at the same time. Great acting all around as well.
