Based on true story?

This movie reminded me of the murder of an Italian banker, found hanged under a bridge in London. Originally it was thought it was suicide too. Also, the death was because of huge financial losses. Just reminded me of the movie.

I'm probably one of few people to see this movie though, which isn't surprising ;)
