About

You’ll likely enjoy this if you want a tense, high-stakes crime-drama in the money world with a determined lead drive; Not for you if you dislike convoluted plots or dry, unsophisticated pacing like Margin Call or Michael Clayton.

Pros: tense financial thriller; strong lead performance; fast-moving suspense | Cons: convoluted plot; underused supporting cast; dry/unremarkable at times
