Grimossfer Clever and entertaining enough to recommend even to of the 1%

Phillida Let me be very fair here, this is not the best movie in my opinion. But, this movie is fun, it has purpose and is very enjoyable to watch.

Haven Kaycee It is encouraging that the film ends so strongly.Otherwise, it wouldn't have been a particularly memorable film

Phillipa Strong acting helps the film overcome an uncertain premise and create characters that hold our attention absolutely.

Mr. Jones BBC is Kevin Spacey first film appearance since allegations of misconduct arose last fall (2017). Despite his and rest of the cast, BBC is a generic rise-and-fall movie that does nothing to elevate itself among a sea of similar looking and feeling films. Its plot is bog-standard - even if it is based on a real life story - and its characters are either stock or nonexistent while the dialogue is un-engaging and flat. For BBC, The Wolf of Wall Street is like gold (compared to brass). 5/10

formationlc Here is another take on the story of Joe Hunt (Joseph Gamsky) by Hollywood screenwriter airheads who think they can do whatever they fancy about a story and turn it into something completely different with no regards to the truth. I even wonder if the writers took time to read Sue Horton's book (The Billionaire Boys Club) and who worked for years to get all the right details to render the story as close to reality as it was possible.. Did they even see the first version of the movie made in 1987 which is based faithfully on that book? (The movie starred Judd Nelson who played Joe Hunt in a most magnificient way ) (Strange thing actually that Mr. Nelson accepted a part in this parody of the story).This movie shows Joe Hunt as an unsure young man, one who does not have a strong personality and therefore who can barely influence anyone, much less in investing huge sums of money. The movie shows Joe Gamsky as a victim and Dean Karny being "the brain" behind everything when actually it was the other way around. I agree that all the facts (or just about) are in the movie but everything is so twisted around that I had the feeling I was watching an entirely different story. Bottom line is the movie is a huge deception which is too bad because the young actors in it are talented . But if you want to be entertained or at least have an idea of how things went down, I strongly suggest that you watch the 1987 version (longer, better and so much more accurate!)

Tj Boardway Not a bad movie. Acceptable acting, directing. And even the writing was ok. IF .. And it's a big IF. IF the true story wasn't already so dam interesting. The basically fictionalized of what actually happened is soooooo far from the truth. Find the documentary on YouTube if you want the truth.

Harrison Tweed (Top Dawg) The entire cast performed exceptionally well, but the poor writing and major plot issues made this film miss the mark. The directing was decent but also need better editing. Still an enjoyable film based on true events, but could have been much better. It's a 7/10 from me
