Review of The Big Short (2015) by Daryl H — 22 May 2016
Somehow managing to derive acerbic humor from the United States housing bubble in the early 2000s, 'The Big Short' is impressively smart, self-aware, intricate, darkly humorous, and thoroughly entertaining from beginning to end. Christian Bale, Steve Carell, Brad Pitt, and Ryan Gosling all shine in their roles as investors who are ahead of the curve, and aware of the imminent collapse of the volatile housing market. Though the conclusion is a foregone one, 'The Big Short' is never anything less than riveting right until the credits role.
Final Grade: A+.
