= = = The film is pretty much everything you expect it to be: a man worked over by the system that eventually snaps. Sound familiar? But scene to scene build up, it is very repetitive. The scenes get quite boring and we are watching and thinking "hurry up and get to the action!" But, the action is quite anti-climactic. It is dull, and the special effects? Well, there were none! The effects were made on a string here!
= = = On the ideas front - it is all pretty basic. Nothing new. Although, in my opinion the writers have written an ideology that lays all the blame for the economy on our main protagonist. The dialogue attempts to explain what has happened. There are nice scenes with the 4 guys and here we meet a lot of the dialogue. Yes, lines like, "it is just gambling..." and "this is what happens when you gamble with investment..." etc., Yeah, it is simple - but underlying these words is the idea of blame and fault AND with the 99% blaming the 1%, this film does not shy away from saying it was the 99% that were to blame.

Don't agree? Watch it and see! Also husband and wife refer to each other as "girl" and "boy" and without reading too much into this (!) It is encoding the characters - as children! I watched it quite early and maybe I was slightly jaded, or the film made me jaded. But I couldn't wait to get to the action and then the end! Cheers.
