Quite disappointing


Great topic, popular topic, poor realization.

English dialogue was a joke, so corny and out of place. No-one in finance calls Goldman Sachs with it's full name, it's referred to as "Goldman". Minor details add to credibility.
The whole "let's rob the poor" speech at the end was very far from the truth as well.

Naturally, the director if Greek - stinks of "getting back at the banks". Populism at work here, nothing else.

Costa-Gavras said in one interview that they cut out the professional language out of the film.

Well, ofcourse the robbing the poor comment was extreme, but if you have seen the documentary "Capitalism A Love Story" by Michael Moore, u know that the Citigroup saw USA not as a democracy but a plutonomy and they think the richest 1 per cent is the new aristocracy. They also pointed out that the threat came if people started demanding more equal distribution of wealth and they noted that the poor had one vote, like the rich.

So, remembering this, I don't think the "rob the poor" is that far from reality.
