About

Not for you if you dislike Wall Street-style corruption tales or want a clean, PG-13 watch, since this one leans into hustling and lots of foul language—try Wall Street or Glengarry Glen Ross instead.

Pros: keeps attention; strong acting; tense insider vibe | Cons: heavy profanity; feels derivative; some cast issues
