A few years old now and lurking in Amazon Prime. Some big name actors play out events when an impending financial crash is spotted by a young employee. Nothing is more important than the money...

How does it compare to The Big Short?

 

[Del-boy]

Rambo last blood. The story is crap as is the acting, but plenty of guns, knives, arrows, booby traps and heads coming off, so it’s a yes from me.

I like the Big Short but I agree. Margin Call a much better film and very underrated

people in financial markets are a pack of unbearable helmets

Shysters to a man. Profiting from ordinary people with no risk. Up or down they still win. Need Jebus to turn over their tables.

The Upside. East watch with a few laughs thrown in. 6.5/10.

not talented enough to take a career that requires a real skill set, but born with enough contacts and the required lack of scruples to make money from misery, absolutely horrible group of people

This makes no sense at all.

Grifter? Do you even understand how vast financial markets are?

Youre acting as if the definition is "bankers stealing from individuals". Or even some of those dodgy investment schemes or retail focused schemes...

Im wondering if you know what a prop trading firm is? How about institutional prime brokerage...

What do you consider "a career that requires a real skill set" and why do those in financial markets need contacts -- doesnt make any sense at all.

How does someone in a prop firm cause misery? Totally nonsensical.

I've met more in the financial sector than I'd like to in my line of work, they've nearly always come across as talentless narcissist's (the kind who throw out terms to feel superior) who simply were not capable of taking on a more cerebral career. It just based on one persons personal experience so there really isn't any need to get so upset.

Financial sector = not financial markets, different terms.

What would you suggest is a cerebral career + what movies would you recommend related to it?
