It is truly amazing and spell binding. It also has some really interesting questions about ethics, human nature, and greed on an international and human scale.

Margin Call (2011) was fun, aggressive, and highly entertaining:

Jeremy Irons is such a great actor, plus you got Kevin Spacey and Demi Moore. I think Michael Douglas has good competition for Wall Street versus Jeremy Irons in Margin Call.

I've put off watching this movie for a while, but another benefit of freeing up my time without the soapbox, I get to watch movies people have suggested to me. The concept of market securitization is a very complex issue in finance. From my point of view to be honest, almost all modern finance based on valuations with future values built into it are inherently not something I like from an accounting perspective, too volatile.

Highly recommended for people wanting a good movie for the 2007-2008 meltdown.
