I watched this movie last night. I wasn't sure I'd actually do more than see the beginning but it grabs you. It goes beyond outlining the collapse of the housing market in 07-08 by illustrating the complete failure of the PTB's to do the right thing in preventing it. From the big banks having monopolizing control, the SEC with compromised personnel, self-serving fund managers, real estate agents rewarded more for selling sub-prime mortgages and even the ratings agencies all had a financial motive not only to look the other way in the years leading up to the crash, but even continue to do so as the crash was unfolding.
Most ominous is the final note of the movie that the same practices that lead to the 07-08 crash are being repeated.
It's informative and decently entertaining. A bit longer than most movies at a bit over two hours long but worth a watch.

My wife & I got it at redbox & watched it last night. It wasnt bad as in the moral of the story, condemning the "completely fraudulent" & criminal system, but as movies/ entertainment goes, it was boring & too technical. I liked the drummer & angry Jewish character the most. Interesting subtle propaganda that they portrayed the "Talmud scholar" jew as the most likable character and most righteously outraged at the bankster fraud
