About
You may enjoy this if you like fast, chatty takes on real-world financial scandals and don’t mind a busy, sometimes uneven tone; Not for you if you want a focused story or big laughs like I Care a Lot.
Pros: strong ensemble performances; intriguing real-world topic; brisk, talky energy | Cons: scattered, overstuffed story; humor often misses; impact feels muted
