Wizard of Lies was the best movie I've seen in quite a while (whether TV or Big Screen). The script, direction and acting were as close to perfect as you can get. To me, this is one of De Niro's best performances; his nuances of speech (broken, unfinished sentences) and subtle facial expressions were amazing. Michelle Pfeiffer was wonderful in her sympathetic, touching portrayal of Ruth Madoff.
I hate leaving anyone out because the whole acting ensemble was superb, but those who made a major impact on me (in big or smaller roles) were Alessandro Nivola, Katherine Narducci, Hank Azaria, Amanda Warren and Diana Henriques. A well made, great movie.

The logistics of this movie was amazing. To direct all those extras to act in a film-worthy manner is a herculean feat. For this reason alone I give the movie a high rating. But I also liked it on the level of a plain movie-watcher. It had me on the edge of my seat thruout. I felt that I was right in the middle of it all. James Nesbitt was superb.
A nice entertaining suspenseful quirky '50s B-movie with a straight-forward no-frills script and dialogue. I liked this flick each of the two times I saw it, years apart.
Stand-outs are: Edward Platt as an eccentric mastermind crook, Kathleen Crowley: you can feel her pain and disappointment; and Gregg Palmer, torn between love and greed.
The drawback is that the movie was deceptively packaged as a "beatnik/rebel" movie-which, of course, it was not about (except for a few semi-coffeehouse scenes).
