Review of The Big Short (2015) by Mike C — 30 Jan 2017
Michael Lewis has a knack for finding stories. Moneyball, The Blind Side, then this...the story of how a few men saw the coming fall of the stock market and made a ton of money on it.
It's a fascinating story and everyone in the movie did well to bring the oddball characters to life. They're brilliant in their own ways. They gambled on a long shot and won. Or perhaps it wasn't a long shot at all and that's why they are filthy rich today.
So it's a good character study of the four men, but it's also an examination of how the market collapsed. You don't have to be an expert to understand it. Entertaining and enlightening.
