'I understand completely'


I liked the scene where the old woman is buying the trust, and she is forced to watch videos and acknowledge being told about the high risk of the trust. I wonder if this is standard practice in Hong Kong. In the US, this is the kind of stuff that consumer advocacy groups think should be required of investors before the buy risky financial instruments, but I don't think that it's required like it was shown to be in the movie.

I just watched the movie tonight on Netflix and think this is one of the best scenes in any movie I've seen all year. Brilliantly acted and directed. And absolutely terrifying because of its implications - yet I'm sure the same scenario happens every day, in financial offices all over the world.

Yeah, that old lady played the scene (and her entire role) perfectly. Great acting.
