Who knew the lead-up to the 2008 financial crisis could be so much fun on the big screen. Christian Bale, Steve Carell, Ryan Gosling, Brad Pitt and others make this a hugely entertaining (and entertainingly informative) story of a small number of intelligent/brilliant (but social misfits, in one way or another) who did the leg/mind work to see the destruction that was on its way to whiplash the US (and global) economy. Two hours-plus of impressive acting and story-telling that went by in flash for me.
