A stellar cast behind this drama about US subprime mortgages and the roots of the 2008 financial crisis. The film is based on a non-fiction book by Michael Lewis (Vanity Fair has an extract):
The trailer is intriguing because it's unclear which direction the film will go in with regard to the causes of the crisis. Will it look for a villain (greedy bankers), which is easy and emotionally satisfying for a movie audience, or will it demand more of the viewer by looking at the systemic and human weaknesses that bring about such disasters?
