I'd never waste my time on anything sorkin writes. He's nothing but a phony, shallow apologist for wall street and bank crooks. Too Big to Fail was a simplistic, sugar-coated piece of s*** that basically absolved all the crooks. Sorkin is a tool. This book is nothing but garbage. He makes Paulsen, the biggest crook in the whole affair, out to be some tortured victim. It's nothing but a soft, kiss-up to wall street crooks. The scholarship is slanted, shoddy and shameful.

This movie had a really great premise. BUT they ruined it with endless, mind-numbing melodrama. The last 30 minutes are the only good part of the film. The rest is over-cooked, sentimental, soap opera garbage.

I like Byrne a lot and that's why I bothered to watch it. He does a decent job but the plot is so ludicrous, it's hard to take seriously. And there's so many stupid, convoluted sub-plots...it becomes impossible to follow or figure out who's the good guys and who's the bad guys. And the ridiculously, ambivalent and inconclusive ending is the worst. A giant pile of steaming crap.
