betraying morals and principles
This may be an obtuse question, but here goes: the synopsis for this film reads "Three people - a criminal, a bank officer and a cop - end up in a catastrophic situation in the midst of a global economical crisis and are forced to betray any morals and principles to solve their financial problems." Of course, this dovetails with the film's title. However, I fail to appreciate how the criminal and the cop betray any morals or principles to solve their financial problems. The only principle the criminal seemed to acknowledge was loyalty and I thought he stayed pretty faithful to that. He does leave his moribund "blood brother" to go play the stock market, but he does it at the other's request and I had the sense that he was betting for both their sakes. Is there some indication to the contrary? Likewise, I thought the resolution of the cop's financial problems was entirely out of his hands and happened only as a result of the Greek bailout. What did I miss?
